How to Painlessly Remove an Ingrown Toenail

Summary: How to painlessly remove an ingrown toenail for about $1.00, without creams, lotions, or having the Doctor cut it out for you. I discovered this method after years of painfully cutting out my own ingrown toenails. Mine were curled under and made it very hard to walk, stand or wear tight shoes. I used to spend hours digging them out piece by piece, ouch. I started looking around for an easier way, one where I didn't have to go to the doctor and have my whole nail removed. That's when I found this method, and I wondered why I didn't think of it before
