is there certain habits that people do to make it ingrown? or is it just something that happens?How do you get an ingrown toe nail???
oddly enough, it can happen if your toenails are extremely long and keep pressing up against your shoes. they will curve over your toes and grow inward. it's quite painful. try keeping your nails short.How do you get an ingrown toe nail???
You can get it from injuries like kicking a ball in soccer and the toe closest to the ball gets ingrown. You can get it by not cutting your nails properly--straight across. You can get it from wearing too tight of shoes.
Well if you cut your toenail too short it will get ingrown...No it is not a habit that people do to make it ingrown.
To help make it go away just put your foot in warm water and sprinkle salt in the water.

You can trim the part that is already pulling away so it won't catch on anything. Cover the rest with a big band aide with bacitracin or neosporin on it. In time the nail will grow back in.I had a blood blister under my big toe toe nail and now thats its gone my toe nail is about to come out?
go ahead n pull it off because it will help grow a new toenail faster

What can be used to play football with only half a toe nail?
Had foot infection
Lost toe nail in kicking foot
new toe nail grown half way underneath old toe nail
New season starts in 3-4 weeks what can i use to protect my toe to play during seasonWhat can be used to play football with only half a toe nail?
i think the best way is to put a lot of padding. your dilemma is to sufficiently protect your toe, but you can't put a lot of padding or bandage as your shoes may not fit. besides it will not affect.
so you have to balance this and try not use your toe with a broken nail.What can be used to play football with only half a toe nail?
In 3-4 weeks your toe should be almost fine buy here is what I'd do. Wrap your toes in that bandage stuff, you know the soft roll of white stuff. Then out on 2 pairs of big thick socks (your feet would get very sweaty but it's worth it. If you have those socks that are just longer than ankle socks, pull them down to ankle socks then with the rest fold on top of your foot foe extra toe cushioning. I do it all the time. Also try not to toe hack it, use the push pass if you have to. And go easy on your foot.
try not to toe poke it. use gauze. pratice and see how much it hurts and decide if you should use something like Tylenol.
i say gauze. Rap it around many times and then tape it.

How can I cure toe-nail fungus/fungi infection?
hey there, my left and right big toes are infected with fungus. Just the two big toes. They have been infected for quite long time (around 4 years).
They are a mix of dark yellow black. When they got infected I took very good care of my feet and the infection didnt go far. I tried every cream and spray but my toes have not come back to the healthy color. Is there any solution?How can I cure toe-nail fungus/fungi infection?
First try soaking your feet daily in distilled white vinegar it prevents fungus from growing. You will need to do this DAILY for about 15 minutes over the course of a few months (there is no quick fix) and as your toenails grow out you should notice that there is less or no fungus on the new nail coming in. Trim off the infected part of the nail and keep going until the fungus is completely gone.
You could also try applying Vicks Vapor Rub or tea tree oil to the affected nails, again daily, over the course of several months to the same effect as the vinegar (healthier nail appears behind the infected nail)
If you see no improvement at all over a course of about 6 months then try going to your doctor for a prescription. It is hard on your liver but blood tests should help determine if your liver is healthy enough to handle to medication. You should notice an improvement on the medication after around 3 months or so.
If none of that works then you may be faced with the fact that you may need to have the toenails surgically removed.How can I cure toe-nail fungus/fungi infection?
plz try this b4 going to spend money on doctor visits.
pour a half a bottle of 3 % peroxcidein your tub for any skin fungus,skin infection or boils. peroxcide is a cheap way to do alot of things and this one is well affective.
Lamisil. I saw a commercial with little green monsters in a big toe and they were destroyed by a lamisil pill.

Make an appt with your Dr. They will most likely precribe Lamisil ( I think that's what it's called) for this. It really helped my hubby's toenails look better!!

What can I do about an ingrown toe-nail?
It hurts to walk on and is a little swolen and pink.
It's on my left big toe and it's growing inward on the right side.
I don't have any insurance and can't go to the doctor and need to know how to fix it.
Thanks.What can I do about an ingrown toe-nail?
ouch they hurt. you def should get some clippers and cut the ingrown nail out...best way i have found to do it is to
soak my toe in water to soften it cause you have to try pull the skin back as much as you can to dig it out...its gunna really hurt but its worth it when its gone
goodluck:PWhat can I do about an ingrown toe-nail?
cut it out
cut it off
Go for a Pedicure NOW.
ewwww, ouch. Soak your toe in warm water for 20 minutes then use a nail clipper file to pull the skin back, this may be painful. Clean the area with peroxide and when you find the end that is poking in your skin trim it off. Soak your toe in epsom salt to pull out the infection and pull the skin back every day till the nail grows past the skin. Don't cut them so short next time!
sorry, i don't do feet, toe nails, or ingrown ones!!
it's a phobia.
If it's just the tip of the nail that's swollen and not the whole entire side, then get yourself a professional toe nail clipper (not that flat ones, the pointy ones) and cut the leading corner out - that usually relieves it right away. Soak it in warm water and Epsom salts for 15min/day for 5 days. Cover it with Neosporin and a band-aid for the same amount of time and hope it doesn't come back. If it's painful along the whole side of the nail - that wedge of nail procedure I described won't work and you'll have to go see the podiatrist to have a small procedure done. I understand you don't have insurance, but you don't want to be in pain all the time. Hope this helps!
try wire cutters, thats what i use on all mine.''
The only way is to cut away the grown portion that is pressing into the flesh. The festered tissue might have to be removed too if it is very bad.
For severe cases, the entire toe nail has to be removed.
After that, give it proper bandaging and antiseptic care. Do remember to sterillise your clipper before attempting the feat.zits

MASOCHIST POLL: What are the proper tools to pull a toe nail off...?
I have an infected toe nail, and every time it grows back, the front end always grows out hollow and eventually loosens. What tools and process should I consider in pulling my toe nail off cleanly.MASOCHIST POLL: What are the proper tools to pull a toe nail off...?
Oh, baby...um...it's never gonna grow in ';right.'; It's infected. You need those pills...or some sort of ointment. My mother mixes salt into a bottle of vapor rub then puts that on her infected toenails. Supposedly it helps. Try it!MASOCHIST POLL: What are the proper tools to pull a toe nail off...?
What possible side effects? :/
If I wanted to pull of a toenail (which I hope I never want to), I would pull it off in an upwards direction instead of forward. If you pull forwards anything that's attached to the nail will just rip through the nail but the nail will most likely stay attached. So if you could somehow get ahold of the nail from an upper angle the nail will unattach itself more. Also, banging your foot against a wall will eventually cause the nail to come off.
But, seriously, I am feeling a little sick even thinking about toe nails being ripped off. If you are serious about wanting it off, get a doctor to take it off or fix it. Goodluck :)
Try using a pair of pliers. The needle nose type. ---------------
Ehmygod! See a doctor! Don't pull it off!
ROFL @ first two answers XD
Why not use that block of cement in your head, and visit a doctor instead?
Well, there is an image I will never be able to get out of my head.
Owww! I'd get the doc to look at it. Self surgery is a no go zone.
use a saw
ohh.......go to a doctor.......if you do it by yourself you'll......................ouch !! very painfull
um, i didn't need that visual. yuck.
