There's a surgical procedure that involves removing or cauterizing the toenail root on the sides to narrow the grow width, but I've not pursued that route.
Don't trim it all the way where it's ingrown, just enough to start a split parallel to the ingrown edge and grapple on wif pliers and rip that fucker straight out. Takes a chunk of flesh and (hopefully) the root of the ingrown area there with it.
Oh, and it bleeeeeds.
[/quote]Had a procedure done to fix it the one time it was bad. Uncomfortable, yes, but it fixed the problem I was having and I haven't had issues since.
[/quote]@kirby: that's what I usually do. Since it doesn't permanently fix the problem, this time around I've been trying other remedies (for going on a year or so now, really sucks).
Since nothing I've tried works (pulling back the skin with bandaids, trying to stuff something under it to keep it from being ingrown, special trimming methods, etc etc), I'm thinking the surgical route might be best, but my mom was warning me against it because they basically murdered my aunt's toe doing it back in the 70's. Of course, that was 30+ years ago now, but still.
[/quote]I couldn't stand to have one for that long. I would have taken an axe to my foot by now.Â
[/quote]So many other parts of me hurt basically all the time, that it doesn't bother me that much unless I try to put shoes on other than my steel toes, stub it on something, or have someone step on it. Then I want to die.

sounds like someone needs a vacation... in a bacta tank.Â
Now for something completely different:
My 2011 Mustang had 6" of standing water in the spare tire well when I went to investigate the dampness in my trunk.Â
Among the things destroyed in my trunk by water were my last remaining copy of my college transcripts and my LODs from the army.Â
Either there's a leak somewhere in there, in which case Ford's covering it because it's still under warranty. Or the dumbass at the car wash accidentally popped the trunk when he put the caution lights on before washing it, in which case I'm going to murder their entire staff since i have no idea which one did it.Â
