You should go to a doctor or somewhere to get it removed, not doing so will cause infection and make it so sensitive that the slightest touch will hurt like hell

I've had one before and I had to cut it out myself since my parents were really low on funds, and it hurt like stuff but I got it removed. I suggest going to the doctors though, since I have a scar on my finger and I know you don't want one as well

oh wait thanks for reminding me
i hate surgery so that wouldnt be an option, but before i forget to mention, my mom is a nurse; i already put it in warm water with peroxide and soap
so im fine for now. this ingrown business happens every other mon~~th, i have no idea why~~

edit : wait i remember what could be why, i like to bite my nails, and i read that it can cause them to grow oddly / get too wide. in other words - im ok

It isn't a surgery per-say, it's more like half of your hand is numbed and they cut out the ingrown section of your nail. Getting this done will not only remove the current ingrown nail, it will prevent it from happening in the future as well

yeaaah i know about it. i saw a video on how they remove it, i wouldnt like it even with any sort of pain numbing stuff- i'd need to be asleep. because even then i could probably feel it. so. boooooo sensitivity!

PS -
i know basics about medical things like this, so im 100% fine.
(PLEASE dont assume i ran to the forums before doing something else like cleansing it :) )

You should still find out a way to get the ingrown section of your nail removed, just keeping it in your finger won't do you any good

TheABELBOTO · April 17, 2016, 07:00:44 PM

do you have like no nail clippers or something

Doctor. ASAP.

I had an ingrown toe nail. It ended up getting so infected over time because I didn't get it checked out. We tried doing alcohol compression and stuff but to no avail, it hurt like stuff. I had to get 1/6 of my toe removed that was scar tissue and the blue damaged nail plate is still growing away. It looks ugly af. It hurt like hell until the surgery also.
