Ingrown toenail help.?

So originally I had thought it was hurting because my nephews and neices and all their skateboards and stuff running over my feet. Because I have never had one then yesterday the pain was so bad so I showed my Husband and he said its an ingrown toenail. It hurts so bad when he tried to take it out and I was up all night googling. And came up with a sally Hansen ingrown be gone. How does it work. What is it. And its been this way for about 2 weeks. My dad said if I leave it alone it will come out itself and it won't hurt anymore. Anyways is there anything I can bug to numb my tie while my Husband takes it out. He has had them a bunch of times. But he wears tights shoes for work. I always wear flip flops and make sure my shoes are not tight because I was always scared of getting one. Now at 19 years old I have my first one and it hurts so much, and much worst than my tattoos hurt to get when my Husband tried to take it out yesterday. Help I need something to numb the pain and advice on how to get it out painlessly. We're getting the sally Hansen ingrown begone took tonight after he gets out of work.

    Hi Nichole,

    Firstly,It will not get better by leaving it, something has to be done to relieve the pain now and then something must be done to cure the nail from growing in.

    Check out http://www.toenail-care.com/ and go to the pages on ingrowing toenails and how you can relieve the pain from home. There are several methods of curing it and none of them need you to remove your toenail at this stage.

    There are only two "secrets and techniques" to preventing ingrown toenails. 1. Reduce your nails square throughout the top of the toe. Certainly not cut the nail back in the back of the tip of the toe. 2. Put on sneakers which have a extensive "box", or toe. Not ever get sneakers that squeeze the toes collectively. In case you have any question about this, ask your family general practitioner about it at your next talk over with. I must believe, although. The excellent cure is prevention.
