Ingrown Toenail Problem?

My toenail is piercing my skin on both of my `thumb` toes. I cannot cut the nail and peel as it is alreadu cut like this


/ \


----/ \--------





with the horizontal parts cutting in. I cannot reach them with a nail clipper. Solution?Ingrown Toenail Problem?
Simple, don't clip them. Use nail scissors instead. Due to the narrowness of a pair of nail scissors you should be able to pry them under the ingrown nail, focus on elevating the nail upwards away from the skin with the scissors, after a couple of minutes of this Supplyy cut off the ingrowing ends.





Oh and make sure you do this after you get a shower or a bath as the nail will soften making the whole process much easier and less painful for you.





Hope I helped =]

My toenail is purple,brused?

i got a bruse under my toe nail and it wont go awayMy toenail is purple,brused?
As your nail grows. the bruise will go away but your nail will fall off. Protect your nail until it grows out as there will be loose edges for a while.My toenail is purple,brused?
Give it time to heal on it's own, it's rather its healing really slow, and it's most liekly that the toe nail will grow out, and the bruise will move along with it.


If it doesnt go away for 2 weeks, then go to the doctor.
Person is right, but you may wait even longer that 2weeks for it to grow out, as long as, it is not painful. I had one and got impatient so I drilled it out with a needle through the nail.

Ingrown toenail trouble?Help?

I have an infected ingrown toenail, which hopefully I will go to the Dr. this week. My toe is swollen, can benydrall take down the swell of it? Or anything for the matter? I have been soaking it three times today, and I use neosporin. It feels super bruised. This is my third one, and I have had surgery done on the two in the past, it just keeps on coming. Thanks for the help.Ingrown toenail trouble?Help?
I have the same thing and I have to make another appointment for a doctor this week. I've had it done 2x on my lft foot, and now will be the 3rd time on my right foot. The doctor said last time he suggests taking the whole nail off and put a deadener there so the whole nail won't grow back. I thought that was crazy, but now, I think I might have to have that done. I'm so sick of this crap and that painful needle they use to numb your toe. Just use neosporin and see the doctor as soon as possible. Good Luck. Telle how you made out after you go huh?Ingrown toenail trouble?Help?
My son used to get them so bad he couldn't walk right sometimes! I took him to a podiatrist and they did an in-office procedure called a ';permanent correction'; and he never had the problem again. He was about 13 when he had it done and he is 27 now.








Good luck!
girl i had the same problem once that crap hurt so much...you should really check ur shoes size make sure there is enough space for ur toes...keep soaking in it but in epson salt..that works...i hope u get to c ur doc...or go to a walk in clinic..thats what i did

Red toenail polish?

I always wear red polish on my toes. I thought it looked nice, but i just saw someone say it was ';slutty'; lol what do you think of red polish on toes?Red toenail polish?
I agree with Erin C blood red looks fantastic on toenails. Red is a very classic color. A lot of glamorous women of the 40's and 50's wore it, definitly not slutty!Red toenail polish?
I'm wearing red on my toes at the moment, and I'm the last person that anyone would think is a slut.

Red looks nice. Red is one of those colors that never goes out of style. So paint away to your hearts content. That someone may just have a personal hang-up about it.
I love red nail polish, but I've been told I had 'sex-nails' when I was wearing it. I don't see anything wrong with it, but of course, people associate the color red with passion, sex, and debauchery. I say keep wearing it, unless you plan to wear fishnets, a miniskirt, and 5 inch heels!
dunno, but maybe nice.
My husband loves red polish on my toes. That said, he likes it because he thinks it's kinda slutty : ) !!
Red is the perfect color on nails!





It begins to look ';slutty'; when you get into a darker color of red, ';purplish red'; or brownish or any other dark colors (blue, black, green, blyech!)





If you have clean, healthy nail beds you will always look attractive. If you cannnot shower or groom your nails, then that is the day that you might want to try sneakers or closed toe shoes.





You won't be any ';cooler'; with open toe shoes if you have dirty, disgusting nails. You aren't required to wear open toe shoes everyday. Wait until you have time to groom them properly and then show them off.
ahaha


i thinkits fine


i just painted my nails %26amp;%26amp; toes red like no joke (:
I think red toenail polish is great. It can make you feel sexy or girlie. Without feeling overly girlie with pinks. Reds make you feel polished and clean. Red is the color of love. Its beautiful. Red isn't slutty. Go ahead and wear the polish. I'm sure it looks great.





Best of Luck!

I wear it and I prefer the term ';sexy.'; So whatever to the person who said it was slutty.
I LOVE red polish on toes! it looks pretty and lady like... now, if you look skanky the red will look skanky too! don't worry, I'm sure it looks great! keep the red just make sure they are painted neatly, nicely and smoothly!
I love to wear blood red nail polish on my toes - it makes me feel sexy.
noo its not slutty at all!
a lot of ppl love red on their nails. do it if you like it.
NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!
Sorry, i think it looks trashy .
i put white polka dots on it and it looks cute if you were trashy clothes and act trashy it makes you seem trashy
i wear red/pink polish all the time...it is actually considered a ';classic'; color when it comes 2 couture fashion, so i would say keep RED alive sista!!!
I think it looks great on you!!! Not slutty at all.
it looks fine but be careful with dark color nail polish it makes your nails yellow. to get it off you just get acetone nail polish remover and it comes off.
hey i wear it myself. whoever said it is so...*no commment*... it depends on how u look at it. depends on the person looking at it. and some ppl's opinions..u should never care about.

  • Ingrown toenail? help!?

    ok, so i have an ingrown toenail on my big toe. what should i do to treat it?





    also, i am in volleyball, so i have to wear volleyball shoes. i heard that you are supposed to keep the toe dry, but my feet sweat alot. is there anything i can put over my toe like a bandaid or something?








    thanks!Ingrown toenail? help!?
    no bandaid or anything.


    dr scholl has this thing which softens the nail. get that. it won't hurt anymore because its soft and won't dig into your skin.


    if you can't find dr scholl then get any other brandIngrown toenail? help!?
    Soak your foot and see if you can cut the nail where it is grown into the skin.





    Try to pick up some athletic socks that are absorbent, so you can wear them when you are playing volleyball. When you are done playing volleyball, take your volleyball shoes off and wear a pair of flip-flops or sandals so your feet can air out. It might be helpful to maybe wipe them so they are a little dryer with your socks before wearing sandals.





    Also-- I have heard that to help prevent ingrown nails, cut them across in a straight line with only a little bit of rounding on the corners.





    Hope this helps!
    I myself have been a victim to these nasty ingrown toe nail. I would go get them removed by your doctor. They numb the toe where the ingrown toe nail is at and very carefully the doc cut the toe nail. In some cases they pull out the whole nail so you wont have to worry about ingrown toe nails...that is up to the patient if they want it done.





    Just soak your feet in warm water and carefully pull the skin back from the ingrown toe nail and clip the nail itself...they have special toe nail clippers for toe nails and ingrown toe nails.
    soak you foot in hot water and there is a special type of salt sorry cant think of the name and put it in the hot water that always helps me but do it at least a couple of times.....Morgan

    Toenail problems! Ingrown toenail maybe!?

    Ok so I stupidly picked my toenail and it left one side very short. Although the nail has now gone back, it hurts when I touch just above that side of the nail. What do I do?Toenail problems! Ingrown toenail maybe!?
    You should soak it in warm water and epsom salt.


    They sell it at wal-mart and H-E-B, and probably walgreens too.


    It's only about 2-4 dollars.





    And after you soak it, don't poke at it anymore.


    Because it will get infected.





    If the problem persists, go to a doctor.


    They will cut it out.

    Has anybody heard if people do toenail replacement surgery in London??

    Yes, there's this little shop over in Picadodo Square that replaces missing toenails with those from enraged gibbons who have had theirs pulled out by the roots - you see, that's why they're enraged. Then they staple them to your toes. It's all very quick and painless if you're braindead like most people are.Has anybody heard if people do toenail replacement surgery in London??

    Please HelpIngrown Toenail? Please Help, PIC INCLUDED?
    The photo is very fuzzy, but it does seem to be an ingrown toenail. I can tell from the photo that you keep your nails too short, this is a common cause of ingrown toenails. The problem may take care of itself as your toenail grows out, but if not you may need to go to the doctor. After the toenail is back to normal, keep your nails at a longer length.Ingrown Toenail? Please Help, PIC INCLUDED?
    Symptoms of an ingrown nail include pain along the margins of the nail (caused by hypergranulation that occurs around the aforementioned region), worsening of pain when wearing shoes or other tight articles, and sensitivity to pressure of any kind, even the weight of bed sheets or a duvet. Bumping of an affected toe with objects can produce sharp, even excruciating, pain as the tissue is punctured further by the ingrown nail. By the very nature of the condition, ingrown nails become easily infected unless special care is taken to treat the condition early on and keep the area as clean as possible. Signs of infection include redness and swelling of the area around the nail, drainage of pus and watery discharge tinged with blood. The main symptom is swelling at the base of the nail on whichever side (if not both sides) the ingrowing nail is forming.

    It looks like it


    You need to get it treated as soon as possible
    Looks like it. See your gp - you've probably got an infection there too.
    Yeowch! i would say yes, you have an ingrown toenail.
    ouch by the looks of it you do get it seen to immediately or your toe nail will have to removed!

  • Ingrown toenail removed now painfully?

    my hubby just got his really really bad ingrown toenail cut out by the doctor but now it hurts more what can we do to make it better..they also gave him vicodin and an anit boantics to make sure it doesnt get infected...so does anyone know what we can do to make it feel better..he took the meds and tried to soak it in water but that made it worst. so we were thinking neosprin but not sure





    thanksIngrown toenail removed now painfully?
    I had one so bad the Doc removed my entire toenail! It hurt very little to have it removed and the relief was wonderfull its healling very nucely now http://i32.tinypic.com/141tfrq.Ingrown toenail removed now painfully?
    Try some Motrin/Advil. You may also want to call the MD who did the procedure and ask his advice. They may be able to give additional advice as I'm sure you're not the only one he's had this happen too. Generally with an ingrown toenail, there may be an area that has a wound to it where the nail was digging into the skin. It takes time for it to heal. Just watch that area is not infected with pus, increased redness or red streaks from the area. If that's the case, call your MD immediately. You may need a different antibiotic.

    Ingrown toenail?

    I recently developed an ingrown toenail. is it true that submerging it into a soiled diaper will do the trick? i mean like the minerals and stuffIngrown toenail?
    are you serious??? ';minerals and stuff'; won't do anything for an ingrown toenail...you need to cut the nail away from the skin that it is pushing on. you need to go to the nail aisle at walmart or where ever and get some tools...clippers wont get down the side like you need and then take care of it. if you cant do it yourself then you will need to go to the doctor...if you don't it will just get worse and infected.Ingrown toenail?
    idk. but i had one and my doctor said she could either cut at an angle on the corner or i could do it myself. then you can soak it in salt water.
    Where did you hear that? How about warm water and epsom salt?
    Nice... erm there are better ways I suggest seeing your doctor

    Ingrown toenail surgery questions(only ppl who've had it)?

    So I'm going to the podiatrist today nd I have an ingrown toenail so I'm prbly going to have the surgery today nd so I Was wondering if they hurt nd overall what happens nd I'd like to know from ppl who actually had the surgeryIngrown toenail surgery questions(only ppl who've had it)?
    I've had all 4 borders of both my big toenails removed AND I worked for a podiatrist for many years. The part that hurts the most really is getting your toe numbed up. After that, you shouldn't feel a thing. If you do, tell your doctor right away!


    Since working for a podiatrist, the one thing I would insist on is your doctor should use a chemical on your nail bed where the nail was removed (the doc I work for uses phenol). That stops the nail from just growing back and becoming ingrown again! Your toenail will look a little smaller than it did, but it really shouldn't be noticible.


    I've had patients who have played soccer the next day, I even drove to Chicago the same day after having my surgery!


    You shouldn't be that uncomfortable, but if you notice it becoming red, swollen and painful call your doctor and let them know right away. Good luck!Ingrown toenail surgery questions(only ppl who've had it)?
    i had it all they did to me was that thy cut the skin with the nail and it really doesn't hert that Much jest a little during the surgery but i wouldn't call it surgery it jest makes you nerves oh and they tell you to put gel on it and put the leg/Hand in worm water or something
