Have You Ever Had an Ingrown Toenail?

I have heard about this before but never knew exactly what the symptoms were.
The nail on my big toe has been sore lately so today I was soaking it in Epsom salts. My husband asked what I was doing, I told him the skin around my big toe hurts so I thought soaking it would help.
He said it sounded like an ingrown toenail, and he has had them before. I looked up the symptoms online, and sure enough, that's what this is.
I am glad we have Google because I just looked up how to treat it and I think it will be okay in about 1 week, without a doctor's visit. Yay, I love to save money on doctor's visits.

I've never had them before, but they can be painful.

@Kouponkaren I doubt you will. You can only hope.

@meowch Really? That is odd that she would ask that, not you?

@Kouponkaren it is odd. They are my relatives after all. It makes them unique.
