Never had one. I have this amazing ability to trim my toenails neatly. I also don’t practice Japanese foot binding.

First things first wrote:
I used to get them all the time. Until one instance when it became so infected that the slightest touch, even a sock or bedsheets, would cause very uncomfortable pain. Luckily, a podiatrist friend of my dad's worked on me. He gave me about 4 injections of local anesthetic into the ball and top of my big toe. Finally, when it went numb, the doc used this tool and literally scrapped the infection out (along with a decent vertical portion of the toenail). It's never grown back improperly, but now my right big toenail is a little slimmer. You need to keep the area disinfected and clean with hydrogen peroxide and/or iodine afterward.
An aside: Michael Jordan once missed two games due to a "severe" case of an ingrown toenail. I recall it being a very odd injury at the time, but I can see now it being hell for a basketball player.
Used to get them in high school when I played a lot of soccer. Soccer cleats aren't exactly known for having a large toebox. The combo of not cutting the nail properly along with the hours and hours spent in cleats everyday pushing the toes together caused some pretty bad ingrown toenails.
I remember, during a game of basketball during gym, having someone step on my toe and man, I crumpled to the ground in absolute agony. Literally got the shoe off as quick as I could and yeah, it was a ton of blood from the ingrown toenail.
Each time I would get one it was exactly as you described above. Absolute hell wearing socks, any fabric, even walking, etc. I remember getting 3 shots and the 3rd one was at the top of toe, right near the nail. I almost ripped the fabric and anything I was holding onto off it hurt so bad. Not sure I have ever been in that much pain in my life and this was 20+ years ago.
I’m 14 and I’m in the same situation. It sucks and I don’t want it anymore but I can’t see a doctor. Too much money and I have horrible anxiety. I can’t tell my brother, sister or mom. I have no clue what to do so I’ve just been living with it for a year about. Today my brother stepped on one of my toes (two infected) and it bled through my sock all over the floor. I’m terrified at the thought he might tell my sister or my mom...
