My ingrown toenail bothers me / myLot

I had this constant ingrown toenail, which I have already let a specialist removed it twice. I'm taking in vitamin B complex, and am on antibiotics. It's getting better, but the nails will start growing again, and then I will suffer the same condition again. Have you ever experienced an ingrown toenail? How often do you have a pedicure?

I’ve never had a pedicure. I trim and take care of my nails. So sorry you suffer from an ingrown toenail.

@Jenaisle My grandson had to have an ingrown toe nail removed at least twice. It’s so painful.

I've also had toenails growing and entering the flesh around my big toe. It hurts and makes it uncomfortable to walk.

I had one that was starting to become ingrown, I took the clippers and cut it out. Now I am like vikingswest said, I no longer cut them off below the end of my toe. So far I haven't had anymore problems with it.

It was a long time ago when I experienced it. Glad it never happened again. Glad that you are getting better now

I saw this guy who posts short vids of him removing ingrown on Tiktok and boy, he could remove ingrown like the ingrown whisperer that he is

Never had a pedicure. I had a toenail once that looked like it was folding over itself - it happened on both my big toes. I cut them myself and they seem OK now.

I had a recurring ingrown toenail when I was about twenty. I went to the doctor several times over a few years. They pried the nail and put packing underneath and on the edge. The last time I went in, the new doctor said that I should let the nail grow longer and to never cut it short. I never had a problem again. I am sixty now. I have never had a manicure or pedicure done professionally.
