Ingrown Toenail Question?!
Question: Ingrown Toenail Question?
Answers:
If you'll let your toenails grow out even a little bit you can clip (with nail clippers) a little v-shaped area in the middle of your toenail. This will cause your nail to naturally try to close that area and your nails will come out of those corners.
You might need to have the doctor fix them this time, if you do he'll put a tiny needle below your toe (if you look at your toe while you're lying on your back, it'll be on your foot). The medicine that they use to numb stings for just a bit and then you're numb. If you don't want to watch the doctor do the procedure, close your eyes ... or take a small blanket or even a hand towel and put it over your face. No one will think you're a baby, I promise. If you've had dental work when the dentist numbs your mouth, it's the same medicine.
I worked as a nurse for a zillion years!
they inject it at the base of the toe it completely goes numb after at least 1 min and you can feel it but it feels like a pinch
