you can probably get away with having a strip cut out, as long as they cauterize the matrix. just cutting a strip out is useless, it'll grow back exactly the same.

alternatively, just reach in there with a pokey thing and pull that fucking nail out. about once every month or two. forever. yum. ask me how i know.
