i have an ingrown toenail, for about 2
years, doc knows about it, its been
infected, anti-biotix sorts it out, the
nail is out the skin now, just looks a bit
infected, so getting more anti-biotix.
I dont want the surgery, the nail is out
the skin, doesnt really hurt, but looks a
little ugly, now im wondering if I start
soaking it and using things, I can just
cure this myself? Any way of doing it?
Thanks
matt

Sorry to hear about your ingrown toe-nail,
I realize that they can be a pain
sometimes, I have had a couple of them in
my lifetime, one, my ole boss removed in
his office, very painful but I bit the
bullit, the next time I had one removedd
in a dr's office, she just numbed up the
toe and removed it and put a wrap on it
gave me some antibiotics and a few pain
meds and I was good to go, just kind of
felt like after they removed a tooth
except I did not feel like I was drooling
but that was a long time ago, now they
probably make a big deal out of it. My
suggestion is to get it removed or cut
back or else it could happen again. As
far as soaking your feet, I do with warm
water and epsom salts and I have one of
those foot baths which help with the
circulation.
Good luck!
