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?

The Underwhelmed One -

 
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

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.

Rayanne Graff: His name is George. Also, he started Spam.
Rayanne Graff: i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.
the doc: Wow, a proper old head
Rayanne Graff: Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.
satansrubberduck: I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.
Rayanne Graff: No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.
satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.
satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.
Claire: It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...
