    ErickWolf.....I'm glad you didn't go through what I did! No...I didn't lose the toe, just the end. Now my big toe is shorter than the toe next to it.

    Yuk! After my third summer in a row of seeing the doctor for ingrowing toenails on my big toes he decided that the temporary fixes weren’t doing it and he arranged that I’d have the nails and nail bed removed so they wouldn’t grow in again. I was in and out of the hospital on the same day. The post operative bandage changes were the worst bit. I won’t lie - it was painful until the tissue started to heal after about a week. It was well worth it though as I’ve had no problem since and my feet don’t look particularly weird.
