Potential Ingrown Toenail

[Tilly2]

I am going to see a podiatrist tomorrow, as I have a toenail which is beginning to curl inwards and it is beginning to hurt. I cannot get under it to cut it myself. It's not red or inflamed, just a blooming nuisance.

Any experience/ideas as to what the podiatrist will do. Will it hurt? I am not looking forward to it but I don't want it to become any worse.

Use the keepnet, no one will notice.

It's ok here Tilly, just ignore shoots, that infamous flirt!

Ahh I've got a landing net. Net curtains are long gone.

[shoota]

I too have a landing net but I did not need it today.

Tilly, I have a pair of pale blue suede lace up ankle boots with killer stiletto heels. Oh to have an excuse ( or the guts ) to wear them agai
They were my Fairy Godmother boots.

[Psybbo]

Tilly, good luck tomorrow, let us know how it goes xx

16lb carp today shoota. Nailit may help Tilly. He even has an avatar.

[Tilly2]

Sibs, I'm no fool. I know that Shoots only flirts with me because I might buy one of his lovely dogs. I can see through him!

Anyway back to my toe. Do you think that soaking my toe in a spritzer might help, Shoots?

Togo, net curtains are still de rigueur in Stoke!

[shoota]

Totally blanked today, my lad had two commons, but I couldn't tickle so much as a gudgeon.....

[Togo]

Pale blue suede lace up ankle boots. My head is swimming.

[shoota]

Whose flirting?
I think many old soaks avail themselves of a spritzer and thereby feel better.

[Tilly2]

Daisy, your Fairy Godmother boots sound lovely! You obviously do not have a potential ingrown toenail.

[Tilly2]

Togo, I never thought of Nailit! Thanks for that.

[Tilly2]

'Tilly, I have it done regularly with two and there is very little pain, especially at the stage you are'

That is comforting, Sibs. Thank you.

[Psybbo]

Tilly, cream your feet and that nail daily after your shower

[shoota]

For heavens sake please stay off topic!

Honestly....

[DaisyNonna]

Thankfully not, Tilly.
I believe they can be painful and need immediate attention.

[DaisyNonna]

Togo, swimming is better than drowning

[Tilly2]

OK, Daisy. It is going to get £35 worth of attention, tomorrow.

I am not looking forward to it. :-(

I had an ingrowing toenail a year ago. A man at the hospital clinic cut it back a bit so it didn't hurt for a while, but after that I had to have an op. Local anaesthetic, cut it away down the side, phenol on the pad beneath it to discourage it from curling again; bathe and change dressings for about 6 weeks. They said it might recur anyway. A year on it hasn't, but the toe still isn't fully healed - no pain at all but still bruised.
