What if you had an ingrown toenail, and it grew right through your toe and poked out the other side?

Would cutting a "V" in it help, then? I think not!

5. I think that would hurt! Don't go to a podiatrist, tho. Just have a good
general practitioner look at it. Toenail probs take a long term to solve!

6. I don't have an ingrown toenail. It's purely hypothetical.
But if I had a nail growing through my toe, then YES, I would definitely seek out a podiatrist!:D

8. My mom claims that happened to her years ago.
I'm prone to ingrown toenails myself, but I'll grab a pair of scissors and forceps from my college dissection kit and do a little pre-emptive surgery on myself long before it gets to that point.

10. I would hope and pray that there would be a little toe nail Jesus
involved...

Or at least a callous Mary to make it worth while on the local news scene....

11. That sounds like a premise for a very bad
reality surgery show.

Hmmm, or maybe a good 'House' episode. He'd probably call the condition "podiatrisiosis" or some shit like that.
