Default Re: Ingrown toenail

Listen, I've had this and unless your toe needs amputation this is how to get rid of it. Take some cotton from a cotton ball or even a q-tip and roll it up into loose little balls and stuff it under the toenail by the impaction. Repeat until enough cotton is forcing the nail up a bit. This causes the nail to grow out from the side of your toe and provides great relief while doing so, you'll see. Just make sure to remove the cotton daily as it will get [censored] rank if you leave it in there. My doctor showed me this when I was about 14, worked like a charm.
