What you need is surgery.. It has happened to me before and the worst is that mine stinks. I met a consultant not just a doctor so i booked for surgery. They remove the entire nail. Was painful but its worth it.


Hey guys, hope y'all good.

So there's this wound on my big toe, which developed by itself, just like that. I've been suffering this injury for more than a year now.

I've taken many medications and treatments, all to no avail. I've met 4 deferent doctors, who apparently do not know what that is or how to treat it, they just dress it and prescribe some medicine, and that's it.

I just discovered recently that it's an Ingrown Toenail, after some research on the internet. And according to what I read, it needs a surgery to remove the Ingrown Nail, but all the doctors I've met do not know what an Ingrown Toenail is, and they usually tell me that it doesn't need a surgery.

Guys pls, this thing is really painful. I can't even walk properly with it. If you are a doctor here who knows about this, I beg you to not ignore this post

If you have experience something like this or know someone who has, pls tell me how to treated it. Thank you so much.

It will mean a lot if this thread could reach the front page to gain more views. Pls I really need any help I can get. Thank you! [/quote]

op this is definitely ingrown toenail and requires a basic surgery which shouldn’t take more than an hour to get done.
funny enough i have been binging clips on ingrown toenail since last week on youtube cos i find it fascinating. its done by numbing the toe, then clipping the whole side of the affected nail out before applying acid to avoid reoccurrence

That's ingrowing toe. The nail must be removed for it to be corrected.the nail is growing into the skin, and that results to skin lesion.The procesure last few minutes under anesthesia.

I have experienced this. It started in 2010, when I got admission into tertiary and it made me a regular customer at sick bay, just like you, for good four years I was just given drugs, with no properation diagnosis, the good thing is it comes and go, sometimes right toe, sometimes left or even both ( I suffer).

I was about graduating in 2015 when I doctor finally told me it's ingrown toe nail and they have to do a surgery. Soon after, doctors wentry on strike and that's how I went to service with it. Note that throughout this period it's heals and comes back again from time to time, with or without medication.

During my service year it just went away and that was it, I was finally free from it. My advice, go to a good hospital, they should know about the surgery. According to the doctor that told me about the surgery then, he said its a minor surgery, they will remove the nail and with time it will grow back properly instead of growing inward

This might be helpful.

Treatment.

If home remedies haven't helped your ingrown toenail, your doctor may recommend:

Lifting the nail. For a slightly ingrown nail (redness and pain but no pus), your doctor may carefully lift the ingrowing nail edge and place cotton, dental floss or a splint under it.
This separates the nail from the overlying skin and helps the nail grow above the skin edge. At home, you'll need to soak the toe and replace the material daily.
Partially removing the nail. For a more severe ingrown toenail (redness, pain and pus), your doctor may trim or remove the ingrown portion of the nail. Before this procedure, your doctor may temporarily numb your toe by injecting it with an anesthetic.

Removing the nail and tissue. If you have the problem repeatedly on the same toe, your doctor may suggest removing a portion of the nail along with the underlying tissue (nail bed). This procedure may prevent that part of your nail from growing back. Your doctor will use a chemical, a laser or other methods.

Your doctor may also recommend using topical or oral antibiotics, especially if the toe is infected or at risk of becoming infected.

Lifestyle and home remedies
You can treat most ingrown toenails at home. Here's how:

Soak your feet in warm water. Do this for 15 to 20 minutes three to four times a day. Soaking reduces swelling and relieves tenderness.

Place cotton or dental floss under your toenail. After each soaking, put fresh bits of cotton or waxed dental floss under the ingrown edge. This will help the nail grow above the skin edge.

Apply antibiotic cream. Put antibiotic ointment on the tender area and bandage the toe.

Choose sensible footwear. Consider wearing open-toed shoes or sandals until your toe feels better.

Take pain relievers. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve) may help ease the toe pain.

Damn I remember back in school when we stayed among the locals.

If you got this stuff on your toe. They call it "Jiga"
It's basically a worm eating their way through your toe at that exact spot

We poured kerosene on the wound and this allow the worm to wiggle around and we get our needles, ready to pluck the basterd out..

This wound is common in places where pigs roam free. tongue

If you have carried this for a year... You should chop the toe off cos they probably have multiplied shocked

that is staph you picked the bacteria from the floor and there's likelihood it will affect the other toe. I suffered the same staph infection on my two toes five years ago for the period of one year and few months, I lost a job because of that infection, Do not cut your nails so deep next time. It is necessary you run a test to confirm it, the lab technician will prescribe some injections for you and the tube cream to apply on the surface after washing your foots morning and night, my were for 5 days before I started seeing an improvement although the infection resurfaced on one of my toes again after two three months or thereabouts, because I felt reluctant to always wash my toes with salt and warm water, I had to go to market and buy that injection again and gone the same process for another 5 days before i got healed .keep your foots dry and always expose them in fresh air.

Sorry bro, I really understand your plight because it once happen to me. I was in pain for more than 3yrs until I met someone also that once goes through it. It was the person that told me is called Ingrow nail and she took the hospital that a minor surgery was done in less than 45min, I was even sitting down while they did it. The surgery isn't painful, it was that day I knew this our nail is longer than what we see. Alas I was relief, though the doctor told me it can reoccur again which of course happen again after 9yrs and I remove it again.
Likely cause, putting on shoe all the time
