    I had issues with mine as well. Cotton under the nail didn’t help much. A doctor removed the nail and it grew back ingrown again. Then a second time. Finally on the third removal they killed the nail bed and I just don’t have a toenail on my right big toe.

      A nice „fuck you I win” solution. Do you have any complications from it besides a weird looking foot?

        Quite the opposite, actually. I find it more comfortable and less hassle than actually having a nail there. Looking a bit weird is pretty much the only downside.

      I had the same except they only removed the portion of the nail bed on the side where is was growing ingrown, so my nail is smaller now but it still grows!
