I have just found out that some people use an acrylic/hard or buff off gel layer to help with straightening out their ingrown toenails.
I have developed one over the winter months and I think it's from wearing a certain pair of shoes, even though they don't feel tight but my toe hurts when I wear them.
What's funny is, when I push with my finger all around that area, it does not hurt at all but the second I lay in bed and my toe touches the bed it hurts like hell and is actually waking me up from the pain.
It's not red or looking infected at all, it's not swollen or discolored in any way the only thing that is noticeable is that my nail is growing curled under into the skin now.
I have never had this happen before.
So anyway, I would never do this on a client, I always send them to the doctor but am happy to try it on myself (as us techs always try things on ourselves but not clients
Has anybody else ever tried this and does it really work?
If you have, any tips would be great as I would like to try it out cause it's getting really annoying now.
Thanks
