r/ingrowntoenails

I had an ingrown toenail and used those titanium strips to correct it. No more pain or pus but now theres this fleshy moist bit under my nail. It doesnt hurt when I touch it but its been 3 weeks since I put the strips on. How do I get rid of this?

Google has terrified me particularly because I have this red streak from my definitely infected ingrown toenail (my first one). I admittedly have poor feet hygiene and I also used dirty clippers to dig in there and I’m just concerned how urgently I need to see the podiatrist? I don’t see many other posts with red lines as long as mine. I’ve just ignored it for a month or so but now every time I tap it directly on something it really stings.

Any tips would be phenomenal, they've been like this since early high school (I'm 19) and they are really starting to hurt anymore. I added a spoiler bc it's gross.. to me at least.

Another POD visit avoided, another ingrown removed. The left side is next, can tell it’s getting sensitive and becoming pissed off.

I had a doctor remove the ingrown part and thought the healing process was going well but it seems to be bleeding.

It doesn’t bring me any pain and I don’t know if this is something worth driving 40 minutes and paying 50 bucks for.

Here’s what I’m rocking with. Does anyone have any at home remedies until the doctor can get me in to help with pain?

Complaint: My big toenail was completely removed under local anesthesia after an injury. It has been about [write how many days/weeks ago]. I want to know how long it usually takes for the toenail to grow back completely. Does the healing in the attached photo look normal?
