Decided to do something about my ingrown toenail today. I've been putting it off coz the pain seemed to have subsided but over the weekend, it kinda came back. I was a little apprehensive coz when I went to my GP the last time, he said if he cut it, I would be probably on mc for a week or two. Didn't want to be out of action for so long.
Well, I was going to my GP but at the last minute, I googled 'ingrown nail' and found a reference to the Singapore Podiatrist Association. haha.. yeah.. bet you didn't noe such an association existed! heh.
Oh well, I thought, if I'm gonna get this done, might as well go to a specialist. So I made an appointment and turned up at 4.30pm at the Singapore Foot Centre.. bet you didn't noe such a centre existed!
The whole thing was pretty easy and painless. The podiatrist took out her special equipment and uber scary nail clippers (like some wire cutter...). In less than 15 mins, she cut out the piece of nail which was digging into my toe. I wanted to post a pic here... but thought it might be a little too extreme to post a toe nail here...
Anyway, the pain has pretty much subsided and everything should clear up in a week or two.
Really wish I had gone to see her earlier.
