insurance does not cover it fully, and i do not want to remove the nail completely. i have already had it shortened on the sides and they still ingrow, during that i got hit with a bunch of extra costs the insurance didnt want to cover. My method involves no blood, no surgery, allows me to have a toenail to still protect my toe, very helpful if you drop something from the fridge on it or whatever else nails come in handy for.

I have an underlying issue that my toenails grow in a way that causes them to get thick and turn into the bedding. Its simple to understand, i have dug my own ingrown toenails out before and know a lot of people that would prefer to do that on the couch than see a doctor.

This drimmel thing is like $15 on amazon, i only have to worry about it for like 5 minutes every several months and it keeps me pain free.

I have personally found when they are a little thinner the flexibility is what prevents the ingrown nature. It has been working for close to 5 years.

Not everything needs to be addressed by a doctor, not everybody has the resources or availability of a podiatrist. It works for me and so far the only other responses have involved carving the toe up themselves, and I have never seen advice like mine online.

It works for me and has provided immediate relief to some bad ingrown nails once i got the maintenance schedule figured out for how fast my nails grow

i use a grinder similar to a drimmel that i originally bought for my dog’s nails and took off the shield to try it on mine, works best after a long shower, careful with heat! that can hurt, a damp nail helps

yeah, you got the same vibe from the political professors that Jon Stewart had on his podcast last week. Just depressed and resigned.

ahhh yes, before he was Gustavo Frein, he was the dude killed by a video game in this
