My Dad had one he ignored it for a couple of months and one day complained of foot pain so he went to the Doctor. They had to surgically remove his whole toe nail. Luckily it grew back and he didn't have to stay in the hospital over night or anything. The doctor even told him if he would of just clipped his nail when it started it wouldn't of gotten so bad. But my Dad thinks if it isn't killing you why bother. lol
My great-great-uncle was using a razor blade to cut out his ingrown toenail, sliced his skin and died a week later from gangrene. My grandma would always tell me this when ever I used a knife (never on my toes).
