I let mine go for a really long time when I was younger (like 16 or so) and subsequently had to have surgery for it!. If it's a pretty common thing in your family you may want to consult with a podiatrist to have it removed!. So few people actually take really good care of their feet!. I'm about to become just that much more proactive in the care of mine!. My fiance is only 1!.5 conversations away from convincing me that it's a good idea to get pedicures!. I've been toying with the idea and rubbing my chin quizzically as if I'm pondering something!.!.!.I'm sure I'll cave just before our wedding!. Anyway, it's a serious matter!. I was in so much pain that I lashed out (verbally) to several of my high school buddies and we still have tense moments to this day (like so tense we haven't spoken in years!)!. Just a silly side note I like to blame on my toe nail, I suppose!. Good luck with yours!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I also say to schedule an appointment with a podiatrist!. Until then take an over the counter pain reliever and try hemorrhoid cream!. My friend's podiatrist told him to do this because he was having severe problems with his ingrown toenails due to wrestling in high school!. The hemorrhoid cream shrinks the swollen area around the nail and can help with the pain until you can get to the doctor!.
