I think I have an ingrowing toenail, on one that was cut squarely, but kinda went a bit too short.

Doctors do nothing these days for them. Anyone had one, what did you do?

I had one, but fixed it after I went a bit crazy with nail scissors and TCP in some kind of drunken fit while muttering 'I have to relieve the pressure' or something similar.

Mine was actually infected and disgusting though.

I think you're just supposed to keep it clean and according to the internet, you should also 'Try to lift up the corner of the nail that is digging into the skin. Take a small piece of cotton or gauze and roll it between your fingers to form a small roll or wick. Then place the roll between the nail and the skin to keep it elevated. This is painful but is the most important part of home treatment. After every soaking, try to push the roll a little farther in. Change the roll out every day. It may take from seven to 15 days for the nail to grow out so that it does not poke into the skin any longer.'

Basically, don't just hack at the nail with scissors like I did!

I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

I had awful trouble with my toenail due to a lawnmower accident. I think I've talked about it before, so I'll just cut to the end of the story. I now only have 9.5 toenails

How appropriate are lady related problems in here?

Well, Kim/ Luco El Loco once said (in 2006) that VR is the very definition of inappropriate.

Sister's boyfriend, who is training to be a doctor, said cut a 'v' in the nail. Not sure where. From wikipedia-ing it looks like it's a thing a doctor would do anyway.

This looks less difficult and painful, but obviously, it's wikipedia, so unsure if the 'high rate of success' is right.

Is there any cream or lotion or something that might be able to hide one of my scars?

i feel sort of all right about most of them. But i feel very embarrassed and self-conscious about one of them.

I don't know how bad the scar is obviously, but my sister has a really nasty one off surgery and her health care person told her that Bio Oil is really good for improving the appearance. It is a bit on the expensive side though

there's loads of medical grade make-up brands out there to try.

i don't know about where you live, but here you can get an appointment with the red cross camouflage clinic and they'll try some out on you and prescribe ones that work. it's pretty good.

It's quite small. People probably don't notice it but i still feel embarrassed as i'm shy and insecure. Bio Oil sounds good, though, from what you've said.

Steve-Dave: Better the devil you know, though. How many of the sensible people would ever vote for Romney?

Walt Flanagan: They're going to be non-votes, not votes for Barack.

Steve-Dave: I doubt it. I'd say that with some of the stuff Romney will come out, people could vote Barack just to prevent Romney getting in.

Walt Flanagan: Well, he's so clearly a terrible human being.

Walt Flanagan: He's going to gaff his way out of the White House, even as the President is hated from all the sides of the spectrum that aren't starry eyed.

Walt Flanagan: The GOP has gone too far towards the Stupid Bigot side of things, it may take years to get back.

Walt Flanagan: I just think people who say that Obama would have to f*ck a white woman on television to not get elected are missing the danger.

Steve-Dave: Oh I think Romney will still give Obama a run for his money. Romney flip-flops a lot. Could appeal to a wide enough base overall to run it close

oatibix: Something's happened here.

Steve-Dave: This is what happens when you leave Colin.

Steve-Dave: And I don't mean "This is what happens when you leave, Colin", I mean this is what happens when you leave Colin. I left Colin and became all sensible and sh*t

Steve-Dave: I'm an equivocating motherf*cker

Rayanne Graff: Yeah, you're sh*t. i'm not sure about sensible, though.

Jimmy: Holy sh*t everything's Barry.

Steve-Dave: Everything's better!

Puffalump: Barrier

Steve-Dave: The Barryest it's ever been

Jimmy: I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"

Steve-Dave: Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive

Steve-Dave: It takes like... £13
