pattricia 575 #1 Posted May 23, 2022 My elderly neighbour has ingrowing toenails on both his big toes. He has a chiropodist who comes every couple of months, but as it’s not near to his next appointment, he has asked me for any tips on relieving the pain. I suggested he try Vaseline on them, which has helped slightly, but he still has pain when the nails dig into his big toe. Has anyone else suffered with ingrowing toenails ? Did anything help ?

Jomie 30 #2 Posted May 23, 2022 Sounds like he needs surgery. The NHS podiatry service should be able to help. He may be able to self refer - check on the Sheffield NHS website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Norbert 145 #3 Posted May 24, 2022 I suffered for a couple of years. It went away after never cutting my nail too short, cutting a V into the front of the nail, and not letting it get wet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
