So I had one - err let me correct, HAVE one. I went to my pedicure lady, [which I have gone to her before to them removed, and they have been fine.] And she ended up not removing all of the nail that was ingrown. Now its worse. This was about 2-3 days ago. Its swollen, pus-filled, bleeding sometimes, and painful to the touch. I've been constantly cleaning it with peroxide, and soaking it with warm washcloths, and taking painkillers, all to try and keep the pain away. I've asked parents, friends, and coworkers for advice and have come to the conclusion that I have to go to the doctor.
-Has anyone had ingrown toenail surgery? Did it hurt? I watched tons of youtube videos, and most said it didn't hurt because of the shots they give you.
-Is it possible for these to have gotten increasingly worse due to wearing high heels? A few months ago my GM at work began requiring all hostesses to wear high heels to "give us more presence" while at the front desk [We all are pretty short, none of us over 5'3" and my GM is 6' tall!] On another note, I had gotten ingrown toenails before, but NEVER like this one.
I'm going to the hospital in a couple hours..so any responses before that would be greatly appreciated!
