He actually did nothing more for this issue than thin out the nail plate. Our first choice was to allow the nail to grow out past the tip and see if that relived anything. File the one corner so it wasn't as C'd, start acrylic or hard gel. This helped so much at this point thats where we'll leave it. If it gets worse or pain returns then we have to seriously discuss debidding (I think thats the right word?)the nail along the nail fold at least on the one side thats real bad.

so...what did the dr do Deb? Did he clip the sidewalls out? (clip it and pull straight back) This is not what my grand daughter's look like tho... her's is more of a "v' shape... and it is a "ridgey" nail not smooth...

Thats right out of the shower .. I didnt want to do much to them before I went to the Dr so he could REALLY see what was going on, so yes they were really long :) That was taken about 8 months ago (June 2010 sometime) .. I really should take another and compare now

Michelle is right : curette (thanks Michelle)
I dont need a rasp because i can get the file on the corners because they are not kept super short

I will not cut ingrown toenails. I do use a thin file. If you show them how to do it, sell them a good thin toenail rasp, (is that what you use, Deb? I think one of mine has the melon baller on the opposite end) I think that is the term. I picked up some great ones at Chicago last year. This way, you start them on it and then it is up to them to continue. Plus, they will have a much better pain tolerance when they do it themselves.

Buenos dias!

Cathyren, I really agree with you here.. we recently had this discussion on the forums and that was a big point many made, that too many techs routinely snip the corners and this could actually cause problems such as ingrowns. OK so now she got relief from the deep cuts for 2-3 weeks, but pedi's are generally 6 wks, so now shes coming back sooner.. oops.. I really dont think thats a good business decision!

One recent pedi I had they used this really great new drill bit (Simmy can tell you about it). Immediately I was in less discomfort, I have not been in pain for a while, some days, just some level of discomfort. About 2 weeks , maybe it was only 1 week, I was getting the numbness and pain again. I discussed with the tech and I also spoke to Simmy who explained while this is a great bit, it really should not be used on pinchers like I have.

I've got this fantastic itty bitty melon baller thingie tool hahaha I know there is a proper name for it .. but it escapes me right now :) and it does a fantastic job of cleaning the nasties out of the side wall
