I had issues with mine as well. Cotton under the nail didn't help much. A doctor removed the nail and it grew back ingrown again. Then a second time. Finally on the third removal they killed the nail bed and I just don't have a toenail on my right big toe.
A nice „fuck you I win” solution. Do you have any complications from it besides a weird looking foot?
Quite the opposite, actually. I find it more comfortable and less hassle than actually having a nail there. Looking a bit weird is pretty much the only downside.
I don't know if I would even notice someone was missing a toenail unless it was pointed out to me. Hope you're not self conscious about it
I'm missing the entire big toe on my left foot. You'd be amazed how few people notice, even at the beach. I guess most people aren't into feet - no offense to Quentin Tarantino.
I find that chasing down my prey barefoot is slightly more difficult
Not the person you responded to, but I don't have big toe nails. My only complaint is that parts of the bed still grow, so I have bits of nail that I have to trim every few months, sometimes just ripping the whole bit out by the root.
I had heard that was a possible complication. Fortunately my nail bed was completely killed, no growth left at all.
I had the same except they only removed the portion of the nail bed on the side where is was growing ingrown, so my nail is smaller now but it still grows!
Mine was in really bad shape and was ingrown on both sides. It was rough.
