Well my big toes always seem to have ingrown toenails, i cut straight across but they seem to curl into my skin, i think its cause i wear tight shoes. But if i started wearing looser fitting shoes will that help my toenail grow regular?Do ingrown toenails grow back regular?
Here's the trick sweetheart. Cut a V in the top of your toe nail. You'll never get another ingrown again OUCH! Be sure not to go to far.Do ingrown toenails grow back regular?
ive had them before and all you can do is go to a foot doctor and get it checked before it gets worse.the doctor usually operates on it and the nail will never grow inward.

How long does it take to recuperate from ingrown toenail surgery?
I've always had ingrown toenails on my two big toes (The nail comes up from the bottom and a new nail grows under it, making the two extremely thick together) and I usually just pick off the top thick nail when it starts to reach the top. Well I have a gym class in which I'd like to skip as many classes as possible since I don't have a partner, so I was wondering how much 'off time' I might be able to get from the doctor if I have these surgeries done on my feet?How long does it take to recuperate from ingrown toenail surgery?
Maybe 2 days!! Seriously that is all it will take for you to be able to wear the sandals again. Something that doesn't rub on your toes and you will be good to go.
Go see the podiatric surgeon now before you get an infection in your nails and loose a toe or two!How long does it take to recuperate from ingrown toenail surgery?
It took my sister about a month for her to wear normal shoes again. It is painful but it does work. When you get it done you have to put cream on it everyday to avoid infection and you cant run around when the surgery is done for a bit. You will get at the least 2 weeks out of gym.
3-4 days

What is your favorite way to play with your toenail clippings?
i don't just throw them away once they are removed from my body, OH NOOOOO!!! That's just where the fun begins!! I like to gather them in a pile, pinch them and take a strong wiff. ahhhh, smells funky. then I like to take the big sharp f***ker and pierce my couch with it (Man that f**ker is sharp). Although I am proud of all of my toenail clippings I find myself to usually be proudest of the big one. It usually has many layers to it, It is usually stronger, stinkier and sharper then all the others. I like to scrape the underside of it and sniff the toenail residue (foof! that Stinks so good!!) oh yeah.

Why do I have creases across my toenails?
I have deep creases running across the toenails on both my big toes, about a quarter of the way up the nail. Does anyone know what causes this?Why do I have creases across my toenails?
Hi Mallory i saw a question you posted months ago about being sick i tried sending you an IM but you dont allow it. Are you still ill have you been diagnosed yet cos im convinced you have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). I have it and have the exact same symptoms as you so please look it up
Most cardiologists dont know what POTS is so wouldn't know what to look for in the test, i had the tilt test and i was told i was fine, but i sent the results on to a POTS specialist and they confirmed its POTS. Your symptoms are typical of POTS

Can I still get a pedicure if I have toenail psoriasis?
Here's a picture of how my big toenail looks kind of: (and you don't actually have to look, it's just in case you're wondering what I mean- it's not my actual foot)
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h鈥?/a>
So I've never had a pedicure before, but I want to get my toenails painted white before my wedding, but I dunno if they'll do my nails if they look like this. I'd be grossed out if I was them, even though I don't have a fungus or anything contagious. Will they still do my nails? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.Can I still get a pedicure if I have toenail psoriasis?
Hi, as a beauty therapist myself, a pedicure treatment would be carried out. The condition is not contagious and is not a contra-indication. Meaning that treatment cannot be carried out due to the safety of the therapist and client.
All beauty therapist should be professional at all time, so you will be fine for a polish.
Enclosed is an article about toenail psoriasis am sure you will find useful.
Feet Psoriasis
It occurs in 25 to 50 percent of patients with psoriasis. The goal is to find a safe effective treatment with the help of your doctor. Several studies have been performed to find oral medications to help the problem, but few have been successful. Know the symptoms and prevalence of toenail psoriasis, and learn what treatments are available. Read on to learn how to treat toenail psoriasis.
1. Keep in mind that you will need an examination from your family doctor or podiatrist for a definite diagnosis of toenail psoriasis. Conditions that can be confused with toenail psoriasis include nail fungus, or abnormal growths such as benign or cancerous growths under the nail. Patients with existing psoriasis may not realize that psoriasis can indeed affect the toenails. It's also possible to experience toenail psoriasis without evidence of the disease elsewhere on your body.
.Step2
Know that psoriasis affects approximately 2 percent of the U.S. population. The skin lesions associated with psoriasis are the result of an abnormal immune system response. T cells (immunity enhancers) in the outer and inner layers of the skin (the dermis and epidermis) become overactivated, resulting in skin lesions. It is normal to experience psychological stress and some degree of social shyness. Psoriasis of the nails might be the only place lesions exist, again making a diagnosis important.
Step3
Studies show that effective treatments for psoriasis are still needed. Medications that are currently used to treat all forms of psoriasis include cyclosporine, methotrexate, and systemic retinoids in combination with phytotherapy and topical psoralens, a treatment process known as PUVA (Psoralen, UVA exposure). Calcipotriol, a Vitamin D derivative, can provide some relief. Triamcinolone acetonide suspension can improve the appearance of the nail. Steroids are commonly used by way of injection in and around the nail. Unfortunately, systemic treatment can cause side effects such as increased cholesterol levels, and greater susceptibility to skin cancer and other types of infection. These treatments don鈥檛 work for everyone.
.
Step4
In addition to medical therapy, it鈥檚 important to avoid trauma to the toenails. Pressure can cause splitting, and trauma to the nail beds. It鈥檚 important to keep your nail trimmed. Trauma can make the condition worse. Keep your nails as short as possible. Engage in excellent nail hygiene. Be careful not to injure the area under the nail beds during cleaning. Choose professional grade nail care utensils when cleaning under the nails. Soak your feet in warm water and file thickened nails to improve their appearance. Cut the nail straight across, focusing on small portions at a time. Consider a professional pedicure, or regular visits to a podiatrist. It鈥檚 best to avoid artificial nails because of reactions to glues and polish. Treat underlying conditions, such as nail fungus. Wear shoes that don鈥檛 put pressure on the nail beds.
Step5
Understand that the immune response associated with toenail psoriasis can be suppressed with the drug efalizumab, which was approved last year for psoriasis treatment, following a Phase III clinical trial. Phase IV studies show promise for the successful treatment of toenail psoriasis. Keep your options open by involving yourself in open communication and regular visits with your healthcare provider. Know that research is ongoing, with the recognition that treatment options for all forms of psoriasis are needed. The treatment of toenail psoriasis may take several approaches before individual success is noted.Can I still get a pedicure if I have toenail psoriasis?
Trust me they will paint your toes. If your paying them then they won't care! Good luck! And congratulations =D

Is there any medicines to stop an ingrowing toenail that WORKS FOR YOU? What I mean is the medicines that you could buy at a drug store such as Walgreens or CVS pharmacy? Not prescribed medicine. Please help me. I don't want to go through pain like the first removal of my ingrown toenail.Is there any good medicine to stop an ingrowing toenail?
You can put tea tree oil essential oil on it. It's got antiseptic properties, and will help prevent/heal infection. The way to prevent the ingrown toenail is to cut your toenail straight across--don't pull it or cut with curved clippers.Is there any good medicine to stop an ingrowing toenail?
its better to get it removed, then it cant come back, but the medicine never works. so i would recomend getting it removed. i have had 6 done and the 2nd is always better than the 1st.
if you cant handle pain, go to a doctor.

I'm not sure if this is an ingrown toenail or not..help?
I usually know what ingrown toenails feel like..so I'm kind of thinking I don't have one..but then again I don't know.
Last night (I know this is gross) I had skin or something hanging the slighest bit, and I just can't have it because I will obsess over it until it's gone. So I took the nail clippers, grabbed the skin and pulled it down the side of my toe and out. So now it is red, but not swollen. It only hurts bad when I touch it. I'm just really nervous it could actually be an ingrown toenail.
What do you think??I'm not sure if this is an ingrown toenail or not..help?
I am the same way..a piece of skin hanging off my cuticle...gotta pull it.....Not an ingrown nail..it probably feels hot to the touch? It will grow back alright..just put some Neosporin on it...and leave it alone
