INGROWN TOENAIL 🦶 hack DIY - Worked for Me !

[@Alexandra_Hill]

Also to prevent ingrown toenails, give yourself a mini pedi when you hop out of the shower, get rid of any dead skin or cuticle at the sides, as that gathers it will push your nail into your skin. I learned the hard way of not looking after my feet as well as I look after my hands.

[@ashleyc8373]

Absolutely. Hands too. Clean the toes, push back cuticle on toes and hands and apply cuticle oil.

@@jurjcluners8490 do what now?

[@ts5284]

A lot of people here don't get it. When you have a severely ingrown nail cutting the corner of the nail doesn't bring any relief. On the contrary, it just gets worse. I had this, and was horribly inflamed for a long time, oozing puss, eww, etc. The only thing that fixed it was a doctor cutting several millimeters off from the side, and applying a cytotoxin to the root so that it never grows back as wide. Also the doctor said never to cut toenails curved, but always straight. That helps keep it flat and not dig into your skin.

[@TamaraNotTarama]

Same thing happened to me, surgery recovery was rough because it was done in July. Now I have a white streak on my nail years after 😅 but no big problems anymore ! I don’t miss it, it went on for months and months of appointments at the doctor + my toe was never recovering , it was always inflamed and the nail was just so wide and grew back into the skin immediately. Just walking was a torture at some point 😮‍💨

Application of Vaseline in the corner of the ingrown toe nail morning and night till it softens the nail and the skin..your pedicurist can then cut the nail back..I did this for several month until my nail grew out the way it is supposed to..cutting the corner nail too short causes an ingrown toe nail..good luck!

[@AnaHaze777]

This may be helpful to reduce pain right away, but I am confused how this actually treats the issue. Why not cut/file the sharp corner so it's not stabbing into your skin?

[@essenceofauset7272]

BC I’m digging in there and clipping it off!

[@mrplague456]

nail techs arent actually allowed to diagnose/offer treatment for certain health issues or infections, the most we can usually do if refer you to a physician.

[@haldouglas4773]

if you cut and file it it'll just grow right back into the space because of the tension. the floss underneath helps alleviate tension and creates a barrier between the nail and skin, preventing injury and eventually training the skin back into place.

[@prosquatter]

​@@haldouglas4773 it won't. The nails grow straight. They curl because they get dry. Yoi just need to cut as much as possible without hurting yourself and keep the nails sufficiently hydrated.

[@donnasnyder2508]

This is a legit treatment that podiatrists will use. It puts enough space between your skin and nail so that it can grow past the skin, not more into it. Once the nail grows past the skin, you have to do your diligence with regular pedis, and dry off completely after showers, pushing the skin out and away from the nails. It eventually helps your nail flatten out and you’ll have healthy skin too! Watch The Meticulous Manicurist, she’s incredible.

[@sookie4195]

I use a tiny piece of cotton ball. Put antibiotic with lidocaine ointment on it. And shove it under the affected area. Then I trim the cotton down. Every time this piece comes out with a shower or a bath, I do it all over again. It will actually help to change the way the nail grows.

[@nadjak3410]

You can use tamponade. They make one that is specially designed for the nail fold. Tamponade stays more flexible and softer than a cotton ball. If you also work with a skin and nail softening ointment, the tamponade can really absorb it and to treat the area more effectively.

[@diamondortiz7324]

Always make sure to treat and cut your toe nails to prevent this from happening. Letting your toe nails grow too long while wearing uncomfortable shoes and on top of that being on your feet all the time can cause this to happen as well. We tend to forget our toes are there quite often. 😊

[@TamaraNotTarama]

I had to get surgery for this. People were saying « just cut it » but it’s actually more complicated. My nail was WIDE AF and was growing in my skin + it was extremely curved. I couldn’t just cut it, I had to go to a pedicure so she could cut it IN my skin with her tools. And it was every 2/3 weeks. Even cut, my skin was badly inflamed and it started again and again and again…
Sometimes you can’t do it yourself, based on the shape of the nail it can be impossible to do it with a damn nail clipper. In my case, it was. Try cutting your nail buried in your skin with this. Every two weeks.
It was so bad that I ended up getting a surgery to burn the root of the nail so it wouldn’t grow back on the sides (so in my skin)

[@kimnguyen-ed4lb]

My friend had to do the same
She said acid was used to kill off a corner of it so it wouldn’t return

[@MDVoicenotes]

Burn? What do you mean exactly? What is applied? Will it pain or irritate?

[@TamaraNotTarama]

@@MDVoicenotes it’s like a product that just remove the part that shouldn’t grow back ! Someone talked about acid but I don’t know what it was. It’s not supposed to hurt because you have a little anesthesia + some 💉 of local anesthetic in the foot (that part is very uncomfortable I was in mild pain)
The rest is pain free (so when they do the cut + when applying the product)

I had in ingrown toenail when about a year ago. It got super swollen and had a TON of pus… I didn’t think much of it until it turned purple and got a lot bigger than my other toe. My mom took a needle and tried to pop it but it hurt to the point where I couldn’t even put on shoes except flip flops. A couple days later I was on the couch watching tv and there was like a tiny little black scab and when I couldn’t gently rub it off with my finger I used my pinky nail to pry it off and it exploded. I’m not joking it was like a volcano 😂 it felt great to release all of the pressure that had been there and 2 weeks later I still needed a band-aid but it felt much better and I could run and wear normal shoes!!

I had it too, a month or two ago. My uncle, a doctor, suggested small surgery. But I just took Onion’s layer, using it like a bowl I pour mustard oil and turmeric in it, simmered it on low heat until oil got heated. Then I put it on my ingrowned nail ( oil not too much hot) , wrapped a cloth strip around it, and left it for a few hours. I repeated the procedure twice a day with the gap of few hours. Within few days it was all okay. It saved me from the excruciating pain I would have felt in the case of surgery.

[@majesticturtle4315]

Im not a podiatrist, but I am a professional nail technician that have been working for years. Cutting the corner of the toenail of someone who has an ingrown toenail (when i do pedicures) does not help them in the long term in my view.
I would only cut the corners of their toenail if they say theirs pain coming from the corner of the toe/they ask (i cant say no to the customer because they start complaining most of the time), then i would tell them that they should go to a podiatrist if it keeps hurting.
This is all my opinion and from my experience.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

And this video doesn't even say to cut it. Did you watch it?

[@kiaratheexplorer4]

My problem is that there is no corner to the toenail because its completely hidden behind the forever swollen skin all along the nail. Also, if I was actually able to do this, then what would happen next? What do you just leave the floss in there forever? How would that help?

[@MonkeyMan90.5]

To reduce swelling I suggest sitting in hot water for around 30 minutes. Replace the floss every few days or so, it should just fall out or disappear from what I’ve seen.
