A member asked:
So, i have 2 infected and ingrown toenails, with which i was able to completely cut off both nails. no pain at all... is this bad? what should i do?

You need to: make sure that you have removed the ingrown toenail at the nail bed, or it will grow crooked again and cause the same issue later. Usually this requires some anesthesia and chemical sterilization to make sure that the nail regrows straight and unhindered. If you had no pain on cutting off the nail, it is likely that you did not reach the nailbed. Please see a healthcare provider for proper exam
