This is a review of the treatment for an ingrown toenail on the big toe.

I have an ingrown toenail. It digs into the skin, causing frequent bleeding, redness, and swelling of my entire big toe. It hurts often, so I decided to receive treatment.

When I first received treatment for my ingrown toenail, it seemed to be improving, but after removing the corrector, the toenail bent again. So, for the second session, I switched to a stronger corrector and proceeded with the treatment again.

 

My fingernails tend to dig into my skin a little, but my toenails, especially my big toe, are particularly bad, so I have experienced constant discomfort whenever I walk or wear shoes.

 

I went to Refus Shop, which specializes in managing problematic feet, and received toenail scaling care as well as treatment involving attaching correctors to my toenails to gradually straighten them.

 

This is the condition before receiving treatment for the ingrown toenail.

 

This was when I first received treatment, and my toenails had straightened out quite a bit.

For the first two months or so, my satisfaction was so high that I thought, "This is going to be fine."

But after removing the braces, the problem was...

 

My toenail bent again, probably because I didn't take good care of it.

I went back to get treatment for my ingrown toenail because I felt like it was going back to its original state.

 

So this time, I received ingrown toenail treatment again, this time with a different corrector to hold the toenail more firmly.

At first, I had the second brace from the right shown in the photo, but this time I had it attached along with the first one on the left. The cost is quite steep.

 

I just keep the brace attached like this without removing it. It felt a bit foreign at first, but I got used to it and it was fine. I didn't experience any pain or stinging during the ingrown toenail treatment.

The director said it would be a little uncomfortable only on the day, and indeed, it was only uncomfortable for a few hours on that day. After that, the part where it dug in didn't hurt at all, and it felt so refreshing!!

 

Ingrown toenail treatment isn't simply a matter of applying a corrector; it requires continuously filing and shaping the nail, so time is needed for the nail to grow out. The treatment takes some time, so you should allow at least 6 months for complete correction!!

After getting the treatment, the flesh that had been dug into my toenails became visible.

Seeing this, I thought that the treatment is going well.

It definitely felt like I could apply more force than with the previous correction, and the speed at which the toenails straightened was faster!!

Perhaps because it was my second time receiving ingrown toenail treatment, I adapted quickly and didn't experience any pain.

Most importantly, this time I felt that it was holding up without the toenail growing in again even after a few months, so I felt it was more stable than before.

 

It has gotten really good.

The biggest satisfaction is that the painful feeling of pressure on my skin every time I walk, like before, is gone, and I think changing the braces definitely helped.

To be honest, I just got the cheapest corrector at first, haha, so I don't think it was very effective. I realized that when it comes to ingrown toenail treatment, choosing the right corrector and consistent care are more important than the cost.

I plan to go get my toenails cared for occasionally as a form of maintenance!
