i just got my ingrown toenail removed today. it doesn't really hurt all they do is put a giant needle in your foot to freeze the nerves and stuff. then you cant feel anything and they just take it out. then they bandage it and you take some ibuprofen. my toe doesn't hurt AT ALL although i have an itch under the big bandage. its kinda weird feeling when they numb you foot with the needle like a big potato for a toe. oh and they cover your foot in a bunch of orange iodine stuff.
Yes in my personal opinion and experience it does hurt. The tissue around the nail is usually swollen and there a lot of nerves in your feet. Once it is numb there are no more problems until the local agent where's off. You might want to talk to the doctor about some ibuprofen before starting the procedure.
Yes, it does. Ingrown toenails grows and it cuts into one or both sides of the nail bed. I had ingrown before and it was really painful. I thought I could never walk again. My doctor told me that it can be prevented if I'll be able to choose a good pedicure. Good thing, my sister recommended me Flawless. They really helped me a lot.
No, it should not, unless it was broken in such a way that the growth provoked some skin. If pain or any irritation occurs, see a doctor. No
You won't have to have surgery, but if it is bad, you will have to have your doctor put a special kind of acid on the ingrown toenail, to stop it from growing
you can't just cut it, you have to get it taken out completely. my friend had to get it taken out and she said it hurt.
Unless he uses a local anaesthetic ... yes
Ingrown toenails hurt because what is happening is that your toenail is penetrating the skin. when anything penetrates your skin it will hurt. The toenail will press on nerves in the toe. another reason that it hurts is that it is infected. The way to treat an infected ingrown toenail is to remove the toenail from the opening in the skin with nail trimmers then soak the toe in warm salt water. Hope this helps!!
First, the pediatrist has to use a shot to make your toe numb for when he cuts the ingrown toenail. So the shot doesn't hurt, he will spray some cold spray on it. the cold spray stings a little, but it helps not to feel the shot as much. Yes, that means you will feel the shot but it won't nesessarily hurt. After that, he will do his job in fixing your ingrown toenail.

No, ingrown is not an action verb. It is an adjective- as in ingrown toenail. Ingrown describes what type/kind of toenail malady. It can also be used as a noun as well. Refer to webster's online dictionary. This will help more.

Yes you have an ingrown toenail. Buy some "Vicks Vapor Rub" Use it everyday until you see a change. The red part is due to infection.

The most effective treatment for an ingrown toenail is surgery. You need to remove the sides of the nail from the cuticle in order to stop regrowth from curling back in.
take a needle go right into the the part of the toenail by the skin, lift the toenail up with the needle and take the nail clippers and cut it back. or in the front of your toenail right in the middle, cut a v shaped figure. the point of the v should be facing up the toenail. this way the toenail will grow toward each other and will prevent ingrown toenails to happen.
get your parents to cut your toenails for you, if you are bad at cutting them.
