Bad Toenail - Performed My Own "Procedure" - Pics Inside - NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART - Blu-ray Forum

I had an ingrown toenail (big toe) when I was 14 or 15.... and had the Dr. cut it out....

I'm curious..... if you did this "Procedure" yourself, yet you still need to go the DR. for a follow up now...... Why do you consider this a victory

You should have just made an appointment a year ago, or whenever it was that is started bothering you.....

Well initially I was going to tear it off and be done with it. However I decided to consult a foot doctor (we know one personally now) and he wants me to come in and make sure there is nothing infected and all is well and possibly remove the entire nail.

It's a victory in the sense I got the damn thing out myself and it felt so much better. Why did I not go to the doctor before? Well, I don't have insurance and it was never painful. It hurt every now and then but nothing to warrant any further attention. So no need to do anything.

I performed a similar procedure myself a couple of months ago with a stanley knife, tweezers and a good amount of surgical alcohol. The amount of nail I pulled from under the skin was remarkably large,tough and sharp. Like you Drinkmore, it didn't really hurt to remove it (although I was braced for immense pain at all times!

), but you definitely seemed to have more blood involved than me.

Very satisfying indeed!
