Nail regrowing hurts?!
Question:
Nail regrowing hurts?
Hi, a while ago I had my big toe nail removed by a doctor. It's growing back nice and fine, and infact it's almost all the way grown back, but it's starting to really hurt the past few days! Is this normal for a regrowing nail? Not really like a sharp pain, more like a discomfort if I put pressure anywhere on my toe.
It looks fine, its not infected or anything, but is it redigging into my skin, or is discomfort normal? Reason I had it removed was for an ingrown toenail.
Thanks

No, it should not be hurting.
Most likely it is being ingrown again.
My husband had both his big toe nails removed. His doctor stated that once a nail starts to be ingrown, it will alway grow back that way again. He used an acid to kill the root of his toe nails so that they will never grow back. Make sure your doctor does that the next time you have them removed.
