I had laser surgery for a recurring ingrown toenail on one foot too... It does hurt! Baby toenails are so tiny I'm not sure what to tell you - I used to cut mine too short on the edges so I stopped doing that which helped (if that makes sense). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ingrown-nails#post-1848086 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 20:13:09 +0000 Beebug 1848086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mdf106: thanks for your response, reassuring! We go in two weeks for his 4m appt and hopefully will get the same response! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ingrown-nails#post-1847865 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 17:38:48 +0000 mdf106 1847865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We mentioned ingrown toenails to the pediatrician, and he said that it was not a problem while LO has thin toenails. LO has grown out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ingrown-nails#post-1843767 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 21:32:39 +0000 Beebug 1843767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have any experience with ingrown nails with ther LOs?</p> <p>DS is 3m and has his 3rd, 4th, and 5th ingrowns currently.</p> <p>One on his ring finger, other two on his big toes. I've been cutting his fingernails as needed, but never his toes so far, the toe nails are super soft and still "flake" away.</p> <p>He's in pain when he hits them, anything I can do to help? The toes "flake" back so that there isn't a lot of toenail for me to try to round off for him or access to try to help it.</p> <p>Feeling bad, I used to be ingrown capital of the world until I had surgery on my toes last year, the pain is awful and I'm bummed for him he has to go through it.</p> <p>Soaked his toes today and tried to get the corners out best I could, but the nails are so short I don't think I accomplished anything for him.</p> <p>Any tips, appreciated! Maybe this will solve his awful sleep too (haha oh I wish) </p>
