(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Yep, I woke up to my mother asking me if I wanted to have my ingrown toenail removed today at 2:30, so I said yes.

Background info: I suffer from ingrown toenails quite often. I get anywhere from 2-3 a month it seems....always on my big toes. I always cut them out myself with a pocket knife and then bandage them up with some antibiodic gel. However, this time was different...I tried to cut the ingrown toenail out but it hurt extremely bad this time (yes, it hurts cutting them out, but not as bad as it did this time.)

Anyways, I went to the doctors and this is how it went down:
-Sprayed with some type of ethyl to freeze the spots they were going to inject the needles
-Injected with a needle a total of 6 times. (yes, they inject it in one area at a time and they twist the needle sideways while it's injecting anesthetic to fully succumb the feeling in the toe.)
-Let me sit for a couple of minutes
-Moved me to a different room
-Cleaned my foot with betadine and a sponge
-Doctor starts digging the toenail out of the skin
-I feel a pretty bad pain at this point, so I tell the doctor and he injects me 6 more times.
-Within a minute of injecting me for the last time, he starts clipping my toenail to remove the sides of it
-No pain at all
-Removes both sides of the toenail
-Takes a paper towel, soakes it in phenol (an acid to kill the root of the nail so that it doesn't grow back in that area), and dabs it on both sides of my toenail.
-Wraps up toe and let it sit
-Bandage fills up with blood, so the nurse changes it out and watches me for another 10 minutes to make sure the bleeding has stopped
-Bleeding stops and she bandages me up fully this time and I leave

TLR: After struggling with ingrown toenails for years, I finally had them surgically removed for good this time.

Here's some pictures (Yes, there is blood, so if you don't want to see blood, don't look....)

I had this same surgery similar to yours 3.5 years ago. After a while it happened again, and became worse this time. First surgery they just numbed it and did whatever. This time they had to use anesthesia.

WARNING: GROSS

I had already removed the hard outer bandages at this point. The purple stuff is info they wrote on my toe before the surgery.

This is after I removed that layer of bandages.

DOUBLE WARNING: VERY GROSS
They cut the sides and part of the top off, as well as some skin. There are a number of stitches as well as foil on the top to guide the nails growth during recovery.

Serious question brahs, but why do you guys have the most unaesthetic feet I've ever seen? Minus the area where they operated on. Ngu brahs need to step their foot tan game up srs.
