I had an infected in-grown toenail when I was 13-15.
The treatment is too cut the nail lenghtwise to the root and get rid of that excess root.
First try the anaesthetics didn’t bite because of the infection. The doctor didn’t believe me until she was at the root. Two weeks of antibiotics and she tried again.
Second time anaesthetics worked. The doctor tried to get rid of the root with lye. The only thing I felt was my foot going cold as she rinsed away the lye. It grew back in-grown.
Next time was are a private practitioner. Similar procedure, anaesthetics, cut it lengthwise to the root. But instead of lye, he just scraped down the root with his scalpel. It’s been great for 30 years now.
