ooh if its bad, go to the dr.


i had to have an ickle op on my toenail. my son trod on it and it cracked, i cut it back and it became ingrown.


it was soooo painful. i just kept soaking it in water (rm temp) and keeping it clean with antiseptic.


i went to the drs and he had to numb it (ouch!) and cut half the nail off, right to the nail bed! i thought it would hurt when the numbness wore off but it didnt - it was heaven!


dont let him mess with it himself, honest, he could make it worse!
soaking his feet in warm water will help a little. this helps to soften the skin, and would make trimming the nail a little less painful. also, u can buy little spongy tubes that fit over your toes, that help to stop the toe from rubbing against other toes %26amp; shoes. you can buy those from most chemists.





my mum had the same problem. she had her nail cut out by the doctor.
soak it in hot water and then you need to dig it out. it hurts but after you dig it out it feels so good.
put vasaline on it and then a plaster, don`t pick at it or try to cut it, then get it seen by a doctor
daddy know what to do forget it
If there is redness and swelling...DO NOT use heat or hot water...use ice
