I have not one, but two ingrown toenails, god knows how. I dont wear tight shoes/socks, I cut my nails properly but I still get them, Ive had trouble since I was a teenager and used to see a chiropodist, at one point even having a big chunk removed from my toenail.
The last few weeks they have been really painful for no reason, so painful I cant even wear socks without it hurting. I saw my GP on Friday but he said it was because of it being winter (?). Ive had this on and off since the summer so Im not sure thats a factor. Obviously Im going to have to go back but cant at the moment what with the Bank Holiday.
Has anyone on here suffered from this, is there anything I can do at home to help the pain or make it less swollen? Im keeping the area clean and dry but its not helping. Im worried its going to get to the point that I cant even walk!
