Okay, I'm 95% sure I have an ingrown toenail. My primary care doctor says it looks like it, and it's painful to the touch, but doesn't look infected I don't think. I made an appointment with a podiatrist for a couple weeks from now, but the description my pcp gave of them removing the ingrown part got me nervous, and I'm having nightmares of them having to take out the whole toenail and my foot looking weird.
Has anyone been to a podiatrist for an ingrown nail? Was the procedure to fix it traumatizing? What was recovery like? Am I making this into a huge thing in my head when it's really not? Because obviously I'd like my foot not to be in lowkey pain anymore, but I'm also scared.
