Ingrown Toenails

Post by *Jethro* »

I got an ingrown toenail after I broke my toe and it prevented me from playing for 3 months. Today, the ingrown part was finally removed :D
It hurt allllllot though because the had to numb it by using like 7 or 8 needles and I nearly fainted/yacked. lol.

Tip: if you ever feel yours becoming infected or ingrown, get it check out early, otherwise it can suck ass alot.

I should be back playing in 2 or 3 weeks 8)

Good to hear that your back :wink: Although I've never had the pleasure of an ingrown toenail myself a friend of mine used to suffer from that a lot...He finally fixed the problem a year ago but it was hell until then from what I've heard from him...So keep shredding now you're not injured anymore :D

Ingrown toenail is when the side of it starts growing into the side of your toe right? If that is the case then i've had that alot an I just rip the part off before it gets to bad.

When I was young this was a constant problem. At one point, it was infect on both my big toes at the same time. I never saw a doctor about it or anything. Instead I would cut the ingrown bits off with nail cutters and use hydrogen peroxcide on the infected area. After a while, it went away and I never had that problem again.

that made my stomach churn haha. i think i used to have a mild case of it when i was younger. The whole nail wouldn't grow into the side of my toe, just like the end corner. i would just cut it out, then it would get infected and purple. It wouldbe sore for a few days too, till it went away. i haven't gotten one in a long time. although, i did stub my toe really hard the other day, and part of my nail cut my toe, that sucked.
