If you're having severe pain from ingrowing toenails, you need to take pain killers. And you also need to see a surgeon - these need to be surgically adjusted if it is causing you severe problems.
The most common causes of ingrowing toenails are badly cut toenails and shoes which have been too tight.Also, if you have a history of ingrown toenails in your family then you are at an increased risk of getting an ingrown toenail yourself.
You can tell when a toenail is ingrown when it is red and hurts. The nail may not hurt until youtouch it, and this is still a sign your nail is ingrown. (regular toenails are not red and do not hurt! )If you are having this problem, do not touh it!That is the worst thing you can do. Instead, go to a doctor and hae him/her remove it properly with clean tools... It is better to catch an ingrown early with little pain then bring it to the doctors later when it becomes infected and much more painful. (and trust me they are very painful and gross... )I am twelve years old, and i have had more than 15 bad ingrown toenails in my life. Every time, i am scared and i don't tell anyne about it until i cannot stand the ppain anymore, then i go to the docotrs and everythingis solved. (:
yes, yes you can, it is very painful, it happened to my arm, eyebrow and toe
The way you fix an ingrown toe nail is either if it's purple like the one I had 2 years ago, then they put a huge needle in your toe to numb it then they cut your toe open (as you watch) and cut out the ingrown toe nail. And yes, it IS very very painful! But I lived and your toe will never get another ingrown toe nail. People actually pass out from the shot which hurts REALLY bad i just screamed my head off. Now if it's not that bad then there are many different over the counter ways of treating this very painful toe nail.
It could be a swollen hair follicle, a cyst, an ingrown hair, or a localized infection. If it is painful and does not improve within a few days, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
Yes, you could mess up and it would possibly be very painful I'm sure.
Ingrown hairs are annoying and painful. Letting the hair grow out and free itself from the skin. This can be done with daily moisturizing and soft exfoliation to slowly remove the dead skin cells that are blocking the hair from reaching the surface. If you wish to remove the hair, it is possible the hair will become ingrown once again; however, a gentle pinching at the site of the ingrown hair should release the hair so you can pluck it.
No, not really, just painful. I just got done plucking some. LOL, I am a guy with long hair, though. Here's a page with good information about ingrown hairs, what causes them, how to avoid them, what to do if you have one - and what NOT to do! best-mens-skin-care.

Yes, you can swim with an ingrown toenail, but it's important to take precautions. Swimming in clean, chlorinated pools is generally safe, but avoid hot tubs or natural bodies of water where bacteria may be present, as they could lead to infection. If the ingrown toenail is painful or shows signs of infection, it's best to consult a healthcare professional before swimming.
Toenails can deteriorate due to various factors, including fungal infections, trauma or injury, and poor hygiene. Fungal infections can lead to discoloration, thickening, and brittleness. Additionally, underlying health conditions like diabetes or circulatory issues may contribute to toenail problems. Insufficient nutrition and improper footwear can also exacerbate issues, leading to painful or unsightly toenails.
Hair does not have blood vessels or nerves running through it. Also hair is made from basically the same thing as fingernails or toenails and it doesn't hurt to cut nails!
