Suggest Ways To Remove Ingrown Toenail On Big Toe
Hi, on my big toe I have a little ingrown toenail problem, which I am soon going to get fixed, but on the edge of the toe (the side of where the ingrowth is) an extra little nail grows. It grows between the nail and the red part and it s made of the same nail material, but it s not part of the big nail. I got manually pull it out but after a week or so it grows back
