ingrown toe nail?

i've had them, usually grown under the skin on the left side of the meat.

I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS.
i split the nail where i think is normal and through the skin, i then slowly peel it streight back ripping out the skin with it untill the back of the nail bed, after that i cut out the overlapped skin with a razer and peel it back untill it reaches the back of the nail. douse it in alcohol and then peroxid, let it dry for a night. all done without pain killer or the drink, the toe goes numb halfway into the procedure.
again DONT DO THIS!

try to wear shoes that fit, not too tight, not too loose, and wide enough that your toes are uncompressed but not too loose. and trim your caluses.

it wont be too bad with someone doing it corretly with pain killers.
