Pedicure/toenail problem

[SleekHeels]

Being a guy I can't reply in the girls section, but I sympathise with the highheelsgirl in her post http://www.hhplace.org/girls/21255-pedicure_toenail_problem.html

I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) what AmandaSnake means by the "V-shape" must be something like Figure 5 in this article:

I hope that helps and good luck getting your feet looking pretty again.

Thank you so much for that link! I have painful ingrown toenails on my big toes and haven't known how to cure it. I'll give this a try! Thanks again!

That is a pretty informative link indeed, thanks. I have only occasionally had mild issues with ingrown toe nails in my life, but the point on that page that I found interesting is that you can alter the growth pattern of your nails (concave/upward or convex/downward) over time with how you cut them. This is good to know as I like to have some slight length to my toe nails (but no more than 0.25" beyond trim). I have a couple of toenails that curve slightly downward and don't match the other foot where they grow straight out. I'll have to try the straight across cut to see if that fixes this for me.

Thanks for the article. No matter what type of shoe I have worn, I've had the problem with ingrown toenails all of my life. My podiatrist did say trimming the nails was one of the keys to avoiding the problem.
