Ingrown toenail

[JoeBarnes95]

dont get this done on NHS because it takes them 6 weeks to pull their finger out and then they dont do the other side when they could easily do

[MRbeanie1000]

"gag"

[Liam2621]

I get them a lot but I just drain out the puss myself each day and it goes in time

[19ashton94]

When i had mine done they didnt give me an injection! the pain was unberable

[chukoiswack]

How much does the procedure cost?

[omarzellal]

Hi Well you help me.... See those two feet behind you? My feet are not flat and they are exactly like the one to the right! Is that fixable? Please, give me as much information as you can on it!

Thanks

why does the shot hurt does it hurt alot alot

[dyno1316]

I got these peroblem for many years. Since I was 12 years old I am now 38 and I got to the doctor and removed twice in my life and the condition comes back. There should be a Surgery that keep the nail from growing back so that can be a worth solution.

[MarikasRoom]

@dyno1316 there is i had that when i was 12 now im 19 and no problems

[FlyGirlz2x]

Gag!!! I'm scares!! Mine is infected and pus and blood!!! I don't want surgery!! :(

[gighalo]

@FlyGirlz2x

the surgery dosnt hurt...i had mine a year ago and i was 15 back then

all that hurts is the shot...after that it dosnt hurt

even after surgery it really didnt hurt....it was barely sore to the point where you couldnt really feel it

if you get it dont be scared

[nick15184]

@filipride100 unfortunately, there is nothing that you can buy. I've had ingrown toenails twice. The first time, they clipped it and 6 months later, it was back. The second time, they clipped it and put something (medical grade) on it to kill the root of the nail on the side that I had the ingrown nail on. I think this stuff was called fenal. Granted I might be wrong or have misspelled it but I think it's right. If it happens again, ask your podiatrist about it!

I had this done 2 months ago. I

[ZeroCandy]

I have a similar problem, I've just had my third operation to remove the ingrown nail and my doctor did use fenal (however you spell it) and I have noticed the effect of it, it has taken much longer than usual for the nail to grow back from the root . This may not work for everyone but it may be worth asking your GP to buy you some extra time and pain between trimming again. Hope that helped someone.

[filipride100]

hi, i have had ingrown toenails 3 times. i just got one taken out again the other day and right now it's healing. however, i'm afraid that it might grow back again in the same place causing an ingrown again. is there an ointment or medication i can buy to treat my toenail so that it will not grown back into an ingrown again. i would much appreciate it if you know one. thanks!

[azumaninjay]

I did ths to myself. worked great. Not something "I" would go to a doctor for. I wouldn't suggest what I did for other people though. Its not safe if you don't know what you are doing.

[GodzGamerz]

Do the needls hurt

[MrGordonification]

@GodzGamerz nope it truly depends on surgeons experience first time i got their it felt abit sore when they put the needle but after few more of them in time i dont feel at all

[ElseJon2]

I had mine done last week by the NHS. To be honest the only thing that hurt was the injection. but after that no pain. but now i cant play sports for six weeks but i'd rather have no more pain in the foot than put on a little weight. Thank you NHS!!!!

[MrMMABoy]

how do you avoid an ingrown toenail??

[MissDancer07T]

they tried both of these on my and either worked. If i soak my nail in Listerine every night it hurt it goes away.

[andrew0901280]

@MissDancer07T really hot water and salt works to. ive never heard of the listerine trick does that really work

[ToXiCIzCr4zY]

wut does she mean by cut a V

[RJhasFLOW]

@ToXiCIzCr4zY You cut a "V" shape into the middle of the toe nail which alledgedly would force the nail to fix the V and shrink in, getting rid of the ingrown.

[chicago1chicago]

HUH I WENT TO THE DOCTOR YESTERDAY JUNE-24-10 AND THEY TOOK THE SIDES OF MY NAIL OUT THE DOCTRO SAID THAT I HAVE TO STOP CUTTING THE NAIL WRONG AND I HAVE TO GO SEE HIM WENT MY NAIL IS BIG SO HE COULD CUT MY NAIL OUT....I HATED INGROWN TOENAIL...THIS HAPPEND TO ME EVERY MONTH....AND I DONT WANT TO BE LIKE THAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE....CUZ I WANNA HVE FUN GO EVERYWHERE WITHOUT MY NAIL HURTING....

[chauchauuu]

which doctor should i see? im 15 and i have no idea what to do -____-

[andrew0901280]

@chauchauuu one thing that will stop it from hurting is to get a bowl put about a half cut of salt in it and fill it with hot water as hot as you can stand it and this will help draw out all of the puss and infection and stop it from hurting. also clean it with hydrogen peroxide two or three times a day. this is what ive done with mine and most of the time it works. if that doesnt work after about a week go see a doctor because it will only get worse

[jessica56786789]

idk i had a ingrown nail and i cut a V and pulled it off and im ok :)

[mg191]

I just had 4 done and in the uk they use a new thing where they a apply a harmless acid after the section of the nail is removed, the acid is applied to the nail roots so it kills of some of the non needed nail

[BEATHROKZ]

@mg191 phenol is the acid they use

[babiichinki1]

I cut a V on my toenails before and it permantly stopped the ingrown toenail use a cuticla cutter to cut the edges not the regular nail cutters

[KiranTaker270]

the olive oil trick does work try it with savlon reduces the pain a lot

[bewaredrev]

Ok, if you get an ingrown toenail NEVER and I mean NEVER!!!!!! Cut the side of the toenail yourself, because if it ends up having to go into the quik then thats a 100% chance to have to go to the podiatrist...

[CHRISSYCHAMBERS45]

I have one on my left foot and i have got surgery in 2 weeks im not so scared anymore because i know it wont hurt and if you wish you can be put to sleep my tonail only needs the sides removed but it was my fualt i cut my nails in a curve but all u have to do to help the pain is to see ur doctor and get anti biotics and soak your foot in warm soapy water or take painkillers

[daynepapichulo]

I have both sides of my toe on my right foot that have ingrown toenails.

I have had this for quite a while now

I am to scared to go to the doctor as it might be a very bad case

This skin had almost fully grown over the entire nail and I can only see a small part of it left

Its now also the size of my normal big toe and a half

A part of my toe has also become a little dark

[KiranTaker270]

they will put an injection in all 4 corners of the toe near the nerve it will be a sharp stabbing pain then they will cut down the nail plate leaving a straight edge and put it in a bandage try pharmacy type nurofen i did that when i had the one on the left hand side of my left toenail removed now the same has happened to the right hand side i'm gonna have it taken out by the podiatrist i have to wait 3 weeks after my appointment at the surgery

[qzOzq]

are toenails a vestigial structure?

[Pr3dat0r5000]

i think we all had em before lol!

[BlaiddDrwg2009]

Hey! I definatley have an ingrowing toenail and I will be seeing the doctor next week. My mum made the appointment though and I don't think she actually said it was an ingrowing nail, so will they remove it immediatly or will I have to wait? Please answer ASAP so I know what to expect!

[yugiranger]

is it possible to be put to sleep when having all toenail taken out permanently?

[Harbringerb]

they wouldnt do that, its such a minor procedure, with lidocaine you wouldnt feel it. you could do it without any numbing and itd be painful but no unbearable

[CrazyElectoneSteven]

Oh, aren't you just darling! I feel so happy now!

[GamingFront]

But how much does it freaking cost?!??!!?

[liquidoxygen0]

GamingFront: From my experiënce it's free if this is done in your local GP's surgery areä, if they do of course handle small operations. However, some hospitals may require a health insurance claim or an upfront payment.

Hopefully, my operation (which has been booked for August) should hopefully be a success. Until then, I've just got to grin and bear it and thank nature I have my other foot available as a backup.

[periwinkleblue24]

Hope everything went well. :)

[DaLtOn278]

I dont know about this but when and if I press down on my big toes toe nail it hurts does that mean I have a ingrowen toenail cause it doesn't perce throught the sides of my toe it just really hurts if I touch my nail can someone please help me and tell me if I need surgery.

Thanks.

[InvaderTika]

You definetly have an ingrown toenail. Hopefully, you've already gone to the pediatrist but if not, GO IMMEDIATELY! I went today and the doctor actually had to cut away skin because it was that far in there.

[oldschoolbamf]

you need what every1 else with an ingrown tonail needs. You need GOD

[NirvanaRox4Eva]

i used to have one on my left toe, on both sides. The left side has completely gone on its own, but the right side of my left toe is still sore. I use Vitamin E oil, it seems to take the redness out of the are, and i think its gonna get rid of it once and for all

[liquidoxygen0]

Now this is quite interesting, though it's not really reassuring.

At the moment the nail on my right big toe is cutting into both sides and a fold of skin has grown over one side. And it's likely I'll need to go for another operation in less than a year after I had one in December for the big toe on my other foot.

Because I've had so many infections in the past I'm weary of mentioning this to my mother at this stage - although whether or not I tell her I'll try going about this by myself.

[mattfox14]

I have one, I went to the doctors today and he was a right horrible man, pressed it as hard as he could and just said, does it hurt?

[runez7]

omg i have a ingrown toenail at the left corner of my toe on the left foot. and my doctor told me to push it out away form the nail and w8 for the nail to grow back outside.last thing is i have to put my foot in warm salt water 4 times a day. should i just do wat he says or just get a surgery

[PSNdiseased]

my toenail is ingrown now im pretty sure, its really deep on the right side and hurts bad when i touch the top, i tried to cut it myself but it didnt get all of it, now its all cut up and hurts to even touch it,

for the last 4 days ive just bin drowning it in anti bacterial gel trying to keep out infection.

i hope it will somehow get better on its own, if not i guess ill have to get this done

[bamitsdc]

yeah, thats EXACTLY what happened to me! ugh. yeah. now its all cut up and swollen.

when i was first getting one, i cut it before it got worse. i guess i didnt cut all the way down. and so now i have an infected ingrown toenail! ugh! and its at the bottom left corner!where i cant reach it

[Davidhubbard90]

Damn, I had this done and din't watch them. Now that I know what they did I'm glad I did not watch. However if somone does have an ingrown nail do youself a big favor and get this done. The only part that hurts are the damn shots but they can apply some liquid if you request it to numb the toe before the shots. Your toe will feel sooooo much better after this minor surgery.

[lilhagan]

How long are the Shots normaly in for? Im getting this done tomorrow, I ust want to play football again, also how long does it take to heal?

[killleer3789]

i hope they don't do this on the first appointment with the podiatrist, i got an appointment with them on the 10th of oct.

will they do the surgery in the first appointment, or will they shedule another appointment for it

plus, its gotta be embarassing afterwards, with that massive bandage on, walking out of the clinic lol

[Ang0996]

I don't understand about the olive oil thing reply

[PsnIDShMuK]

i herd its a good lubricant or something like that. i guss it makes your skin soft allowing the nail to grow over it. i guess idk

[liquidoxygen0]

PsnlDShMuk: Does it now? I've never tried using that; I might give it a go when I can find a moment. Thankfully, I'm not having trouble walking at the moment although I fear I will pretty soon.

Only problem is, I think it'd be too late for my case now...unless I can cut the blood supply to the extra fold of skin off by successfully tying a piece of sewing thread around it.

[Robro94]

I've had this done on both sides of both of my big toes. It's ingrown on the left side of the left big toe again. It hurts a lot and it's infected. My mom's gonig to schedule another appointment and they may just remove the nails...

In the video, the surgery is EXACTLY like you saw and how she discribed it. The only pain is the numb shots and it's WAY less painful than having a toenail ingrown.(Especially an infected one, Ouch!)

[ryan33444]

ah man check my vid out on my channel please it looks kinda gross and comment please

[happymimi16]

just go get surgery

it's so easy

it only takes like 10 minutes

I've had surgery twice & it only hurts at the beginning because they give you numbing shots, but after that you don't feel a thing except numbness

and it heals so fast

[FFXdragon26]

im 12 yrs old and im not sure if i have it or not. whenever i sorta push agianst the edges of my "thumb toes" i feel a little bit of pain. do i have it?? someone please reply!

[mase2285]

Yeah you do. It's usually most painful when pressing at the top of the toe because the toenail will grow inward deeper. (its deeper down the base of the nail then most people think.)

[801nigga]

its hurts but its so worth it after u get it done

[fdxpunk]

ryan you dont lose your toes!

[ryan33444]

is it true that if you dont get anything done you toe will have to be amputated i think i have one and i dont wanna have this done im a chicken I HATE NEEDLES im only 13 i dont wanna die :P

[Ang0996]

I got one it just stared hurting what should I do help? Please reply

[Wakingthecadavers]

Seek a doctor or it will get infected. Dont mess with it. Wash it with espon salt at night.

[poisoness12]

I have one. Its just started so I can fix it myself before it gets bad?

[kurly1313]

OHHH GAAWWDD!!!!! I cannot force myself to watch this!!!!! Did you see those giant pliers?Good Lord !!!!! I had mine totally removed,it HURTS!!!! I would rather eat poo than watch this!!

[jesusloveshecg]

eeek! i think i might need this done, but im far too much of a chicken lol, prefer just bearin the pain the toe nail causes!

[thwaiteduck]

I lost my toe nail once and when it grew back it in-grew on one side. I would not recommend what I did to anyone! but I cut down the side of the nail myself with some sterile clippers and removed the part that was causing the problem. It is quite painful but I managed it and never had trouble again. If it happened again tho I would go see the nice lady with the drugs!

[thefadedline]

and when did you do that? if it was recently, prepare yourself!

[bowllyrolly]

My son was doing secret do-it-yourself hatchet jobs on his nails,this nasty ingrown business,(plus infection,until they removed)soon put an end to his budding football career.

[ampmusicvideos]

i remember i had this done. the injection hurt a lot!
