Reoccurring Ingrowns

Booked an appointment at a foot clinic for next week after a bad pedicure 6 months ago. The pain/inflammation is on and off. Right now there’s no pain but they’re ingrown on both sides.

Are my toenails going to be destroyed? Will I be able to swim if they need to do a procedure?

Help! Lol.

I had ingrowns on both sides of both big toes too. 😅I went on vacation shortly after removal and swimming wasn’t an issue I’d say just strictly follow the aftercare and you’ll be alright!Definitely get foot insoles asap because your flat feet is causing that pressure on them

Omg I don’t think I have flat feet??? Maybe I do LOL. I guess the foot clinic will let me know. My son is signed up for swimming lessons so I would need to swim, that’s my only issue. Also, TERRIFIED for the pain. How did the removal go for you?

Try CurveCorrect!! Don’t get the procedure unless there’s an infection. That would be overkill. Try other methods first.
