Best pedicure person for sight ingrown toe nail
Can someone recommend someone who is especially good at pedicures and an ingrown toe nail?
I thought I was going to a really good place, but suddenly after 3 years, I have an ingrown nail, that may have been caused by a poor pedicure.

I have dremel tool for nail, tequila for pain. Seriously, I feel your pain. Mine is an ongoing battle that I deal with on my own. Sharp, heavy duty nippers to trim the nail. Tequila to steady my hands and give me courage. (The tequila part is a joke. I drink scotch.) |

You might want to go to a podiatrist. A podiatrist can do some things to keep a wayward nail from constantly being a problem.
My northern podiatrist took care of a wicked toenail for me. It was never infected, but the darn thing was always growing an ugly little horn. The procedure the podiatrist did was more extensive than what a pedicurist can do, but that toenail never got away from me again. (I am a little hinky about salon pedicures sometimes. I try not to think about how clean that little tub and those tools really are. That’s just me, but……an ingrown nail can require digging, slicing, cutting — and I want a foot doc to do that in a medical office.) In TV, I went to Dr. Shannon Floyd for a torn tendon. I really liked her. If you need a podiatrist, I recommend her. Boomer |

No references, but I feel your pain. I was in pointe shoes for decades, so I had to do constant nail maintenance via podiatrist to keep them manageable. I would reconsider footwear (no pointe shoes! Hahaha) and definitely go to a doctor. Maybe they'd know a good pedicurist to recommend.
