Anyone beside myself suffer? Stuffing cotton beneath my nails works wonders.
I used to get them real bad as a kid. At about age 14 I had a doctor kill the nail bed on the sides. It was very painful. But no more ingrown
I've done that to. Heated razor blade. Cut edge off and remove with tweezers. It's a quicker solutionI just dig.
Not t in a long time. When I did I would clip a notch in the middle of the nail. This forced it to grow towards the center, pulling from the sides. Worked wonders for me.

If you have never suffered from it is difficult to appreciate how debilitating it can be.Same here and also at age 14 had a 2nd surgery to remove ⅓ of both large toe cuticles respectively. After the surgery I had a pass from the Principal in 8th grade to be late to classes as I walked slower as a result for a few weeks.
My foot doc killed only the nail beds on each side of the nail, so I have a narrow nail on one big toe, but that solution has worked for 15+ years now. He wrapped a rubber band at base of toe to cut off blood - it turned blue, numbed the toe to point I could not feel a thing, cleaned out the ingrown stuff, trimmed both sides, and then put acid on the two bottom corners of the nail area. First doc I went to dug the first one out without any anesthesia. I legit thought I was about to either pass out, hurl, or have a heart attack.
An industrial wood chipper has been proven for removing digits if anyone is interested.......Word is that several folks here have "lost" a part of one of their fingers.
Now I'm wondering if that was a dry run in case they need to lop off a toe, Hmmmm
