Ok, it's breathtakingly tedious, but I need some reassurance/advice. Toenails are meant to be cut horizontally, right? So there are corners, so you don't get ingrown toenails?
I used to cut mine rounded, but if I went a little while without cutting, they would go wrong. So I decided (partly as a Future Diabetic) to grow them out, to a normal length, so they'd stop going ingrown.
One seems to be fine, but the other really bloody hurts. There's no pointy bit getting stuck, it's just the flesh around it getting pushed out of the way.
Is there anything I can do to help it sort itself out?
