Ingrown toenail

[UseThePeenEnd]

Didnt bother to read the whole thread so dont know if this has been suggested.

I had these on both feet. One I was able to fix myself by once or twice a day packing under the ingrown edge with alcohol-soaked cotton. This hurt. It eventually got to the point that it was no longer ingrown. You have to be clean and careful with this- obviously when you are stuffing anything into an already infected pocket, you can make the infection worse.

The other just recurred and recurred until finally my MD (who did a lot of this in the Korean War) just cut off about the outer 20% of the nail and killed the outer portion of the nail root with silver nitrate. This hurt too lol.
