What Cause Tonsil Ingrowth And Its Treatment?

I have 10 toenails mostly all ingrown. I'm seeing a podiatrist tomorrow. Will the doctor perform the surgical removal of the toenails using sedation if requested. I am petrofied of the needles - the worst pain I've ever had in my life. I'm 36, 5'10, 214lbs.

Hi, ingrowing toenails is due to improper cutting of nails.

The podiatrist will probably soften the nails with a solution and then gentle insert small cotton balls and then cut the nails.

She will also teach you how to cut your nails properly.
