I have had an ingrown toenail for years. it constantly gets infected and I need antibiotics. The GP tells me off saying I need to get it sorted, but refuses to do a referral unless it is "life threatening".

I am in agony everyday and I cannot afford to get it removed privately, as they quoted me at nearly 500 quid. is there like a magic phrase or someone I can complain to, to get this sorted?

As a kid I had this operation done on a minor toenail issue, but now they wont?
