    If you catch em when they’re lil babies likes square 2 or 3, you can 100% easily cure/fix it.

    Just cut 1 to 3 slices perpendicular into the edge of your toenail. Turn your clipper 90 degrees, get it in far enough, but don’t pinch yourself or cut too far in that it hurts, and snip.

    Do it in the middle, in 3rds, or quarters if it’s in both sides or something.

    This gives your nail a new direction to grow, and takes the pressure off the flesh. You’ll feel relief in less than a minute. It’s a miracle and you’ll hate that it took you this long.

    If it doesn’t give you relief in like 5 - 10 mins (try a second or 3rd snip first but), that fucker is in there. See a doctor. Take it from me.

      Kudos to anyone who can figure out where and how to cut from this description.

        Cut a little triangle or V shaped notch at the top and center of your toenail. It doesn’t have to be too deep so don’t go nuts. Looks kinda silly but it works like a charm.

          I’d stick to a slit over a triangle. Triangles are strong, you’re trying to create a weak area.

              But I don’t get ingrown toenails. Plus, someone explained it much more coherently, already.

                Why are you still talking?

                Actually, don’t answer; I don’t care.

                  Because each time I reply to you, you get more down votes. I find that funny.

                    It’s cool when people value themselves on popular opinion. And internet points.

                    Deffo not a sign of an ego issue. You’re good.

                    Homie still here talking trash about his own illiteracy when plenty of folks were literate enough to get it. Keep it up, it’s a dope look.

                    Best of luck. Also, definitely respond to prove my point. That’d be neato.
