Half of my big toe toenail is much thicker than the other half which is normal what could this be?
I actually have the same issue. If you have recently changed your diet that may be what's causing it. Assuming of course u are speaking of the same toe having thick and thin toe nail.
How does one know if they have a toe fungus?
You will feel pain and depending on how ingrown it is, you may not be able to see the edge. Try pushing down on the toenail which you suspect is ingrowing and if it hurts then the chances are you have one. it hurts a lot when pressure is put on the foot. Soaking in warm salt water or using a warm wet wash cloth wrap helps to soften the skin and release puss and relieve the pain, before pushing back the edge of the toe from the nail. Wearing open toe shoes will help keep any pressure off the toe while the nail continues to grow out.
Is it normal for a person to have more than one toenail growing on a toe at the same time i lost the toenail a few years back from injuries and it fell off again and there were 2 sets growing?
If a toenail gets damaged, by a shock, or too short a shoe, it can "die" and a new one starts to grow underneath. Eventually the damaged one falls off. That may or may not be your problem. Check with a doctor.
How do you cut your toenails to avoid In growing toenails?
An in-growing toenail really needs to be dealt with by a chiropodist. I know that alot of in-grown toenails have to be removed. Make an appointment with your doctor, they may be able to give you something to help you out. Hi there, When I had a ingrown toenail, I needed surgery to remove the nail. But prior to this I did cutt the corners of the affected nail off, so the corners didn't stick in my toe and imbed itself any more. You could try this but it might do more harm than good. Alternatively see a chropodist who will look at your nail for you and fix it if necessary or advise you on whether you need surgery or not. Take care. ~T
Does ingrown toenail surgery hurt?
First, the pediatrist has to use a shot to make your toe numb for when he cuts the ingrown toenail. So the shot doesn't hurt, he will spray some cold spray on it. the cold spray stings a little, but it helps not to feel the shot as much. Yes, that means you will feel the shot but it won't nesessarily hurt. After that, he will do his job in fixing your ingrown toenail.

Why do ingrown toenails hurt?
Ingrown toenails hurt because what is happening is that your toenail is penetrating the skin. when anything penetrates your skin it will hurt. The toenail will press on nerves in the toe. another reason that it hurts is that it is infected. The way to treat an infected ingrown toenail is to remove the toenail from the opening in the skin with nail trimmers then soak the toe in warm salt water. Hope this helps!!
