I had issues with mine as well. Cotton under the nail didn’t help much. A doctor removed the nail and it grew back ingrown again. Then a second time. Finally on the third removal they killed the nail bed and I just don’t have a toenail on my right big toe.
Quite the opposite, actually. I find it more comfortable and less hassle than actually having a nail there. Looking a bit weird is pretty much the only downside.
Not the person you responded to, but I don’t have big toe nails. My only complaint is that parts of the bed still grow, so I have bits of nail that I have to trim every few months, sometimes just ripping the whole bit out by the root.
I had the same except they only removed the portion of the nail bed on the side where is was growing ingrown, so my nail is smaller now but it still grows!
I did this for almost a year. Shoving the cotton was is excruciatingly painful. I said fuck it and went to a pediatrist. 20 minute procedure later and absolutely no pain if you have insurance please consider it
No, no we don’t have many of them, because most people where I’m from don’t have enough excess money to spend on pedicures to justify their existence in most places.

A nice „fuck you I win” solution. Do you have any complications from it besides a weird looking foot?

I find that chasing down my prey barefoot is slightly more difficult

I had heard that was a possible complication. Fortunately my nail bed was completely killed, no growth left at all.

Mine was in really bad shape and was ingrown on both sides. It was rough.

Do you guys not have Pedicurists?
I am a guy and I go regularly
No, no we don’t have many of them, because most people where I’m from don’t have enough excess money to spend on pedicures to justify their existence in most places.
Excess money, lmao, it’s 23 euros for me once a month, it’s a self care expense I have been going since I was masking like 600 euros a month
You spent almost 4% of your monthly income on pedicures? What was your avocado toast budget?
…
English not your strong suit I guess, I now make significantly more
The irony of this comment is satisfying to me
