I keep getting really, really bad ingrown toe nails. It is not because of my shoes, I either go barefoot or wear tennis shoes. I think it is mostly because of my toes. The skin grows up and over the nail. should I get the skin around the nails cut or should I try something else? I would ask my doctor, but I am a military wife and where we live getting the military to get a referral is like pulling teeth. I would like to have an idea of what to do before I go so I don't have to waste my time.

You have to be really careful about the way you cut them. Make sure you cut them straight across, not curved. Or maybe if you are cutting them straight, try curved! You never know. I was getting them for a while too but I just started cutting my nails differently. I'm not sure about the skin growing over the nail. Keep and eye on it and push it back or cut it if you see it growing over again. See if that helps. Hope you get better!
