| 2. Author: parak obama Date: Wed 8th Oct 2025. 20:51 I had one on my big toe, went to the podiatrist and was given 3 options. 1- Full removal 2- Partial removal 3 - Cotton wool stuffed under the nail to push it out and over the skin. Option 3 has worked for me so far with care taken not to trim too much off the nail when cutting. It still feels a bit tender when wearing certain trainers but nowhere near as bad as before. A stub of the toe or my kid brushing past and catching my toe used to send me from 0 to FFS agony in a split second  Reply |
| 3. Author: widtink Date: Thu 9th Oct 2025. 16:17 Had an ingrown big toenail when I was 19. Tried all sorts for a few months but eventually opted for full removal. I was told at the time by the chiropodist that it was because I wore trainers all the time that the skin on my feet has become soft , this enabling the nail to grow in any direction. Not sure how true that is but ever since that day , I don`t wear trainers as much and I still have my other 9 toenails . It does hurt after removal .... Not during. Think I hobbled a bit for about a week until it healed. Admin  Reply |
| 4. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 9th Oct 2025. 22:41 Ive lost a toenail from a footballing injury. The pain was pretty bad when it was still on but when it fell off it was weirdly a relief. Has grown back fully but slightly discoloured which is strange. I cant imagine the pain of getting one removed mind you, sounds like a torture technique. Reply |

Hobbled about as you need your big toes but was ok in a week. Removal of stitches were a nightmare because I have tickly feet. Recommend to get it sorted ASAP as I left mine and somebody stood on my foot when I had them and it was a trainer full of blood. Reply |
