THEN YOU WILL LIVE IN PAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR DAYS.
I SWEAR TO YOU.
I had one for /FIVE YEARS/.
That's right. FIVE YEARS. I'd trim it back when it got painfull but it KEPT COMING BACK.
Do yourself a favor. Go to a doctor, have them handle it.
What happened for me is they put some anethsia(sp?) on it (HURT. ALOT.) which kinda numbed it. (Make sure they do you up GOOD. I mean GOOD. If you can, just have them knock your goofy ass out. You'll thank yourself for it later.)
And then they went in, CUT the toe open around the nail. (OW), and trimed out the nail. They also did a good cleaning because even tho you get the infection you can SEE, there's gunk in the toe itself. (GROSS) Sometimes anyway. Well after they did that, they cut it all the way back to the cuticle(sp? again) and then they applied ACID to the cuticle to make sure that bad boy DID NOT GROW BACK.
The result is a rectangular nail that looks oddly amusing. One of mine wasn't completely killed on one side so it still comes back, every now and then, but as long as I keep it trimmed, it's cool.
