I have lived the first 28 years of my life without ever having an ingrown toenail. In the past two months I have had one side of each of my big toes surgically removed and been on antibiotics twice for infections in smaller toes. Right now I have bandaids on FIVE of my toes, trying to prevent another infection. The podiatrist thinks it's related to my recent pregnancy (my baby is 4 months old) and that it will just stop eventually. Has anyone experienced this? Did it eventually just stop for you? I'm doing all the tricks - cotton under the corners, epsom salt soaks, and while I know I'm not supposed to, I've cut out a few corners that were just SO painful. If anybody has any good tricks, I'd love to hear them, but I'd also really love to hear if anybody else has gone through the same thing and how it worked out. Thanks! :)
