(Question) Ingrown toenail... I can't treat it myself, right?

I had severe ingrown toenails in the past, so I had surgery to remove them.

I thought this kind of pain only happened in my toenails...

You also have ingrown toenails?? ㅠㅠ My fingernails are exactly like ingrown toenails

I tried cutting my nails straight and round.

I'm growing it out now because I heard that if you cut it too short, it will get worse.

But there are no signs of improvement and the ingrown nail seems to be getting worse.

 

If it was just a shape change due to an ingrown nail, I could live with it.

I felt pain in the side of my nail, just like when I had an ingrown toenail, and it was interfering with my work.

 

I heard that severe ingrown nails can be corrected with gel nails, so I tried gel nails.

Instead of getting better, my nails are getting weaker.

The attached photo below is a photo of my ingrown nail.

Can you see the flesh being torn by the ingrown nail? ㅠ ㅠ

It hurts so much. It hurts when I pick up things and when I use a ballpoint pen.

 

 

If you have had a similar experience to me, have you ever tried treatment?

I want to try self-treatment at home and if that doesn't work, I want to go to the hospital for treatment.

(Because of the painful experience of having to remove an ingrown toenail, I'm going to try my best to treat it at home and if that doesn't work, I'm going to go to the hospital as a last resort. ㅠ ㅠ)

 

Those of you who have treated ingrown toenails, please share your experiences~~~
