Cantrip has Onychocryptosis? Oh noes! 
Wait - what exactly is Onychocryptosis anyway?
Here's a Wikipedia article on the subject, then scroll down for the rest of this post:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingrown_nail
Turn away now if you are a pussy.
...
...
So yeah, I get this every year to year and a half and have to go to the podiatrist before it gets infected, because if it gets infected, it hurts like hell. Here's my left big toe - Gazzic, settle down now:
You'll notice on the right side it's starting to crowd into my skin. Leaving it untreated until next week would have resulted in bleeding, then an infection. Didn't want that so my podiatrist agreed to see me on short notice today - I'm certain I have paid for his touring bike equipment many times over.
He agreed to let me take pictures of the procedure. No numbing because we caught it early like we have a couple of times before. Just a snip first:
Then he takes a sharp chisel-shaped instrument and pushes toward the back leaving the nail split:
Then he clips that part off and sands it all down with a Dremel, just like the one I have in my tool chest, LOL!:
Ahhh, no more pain.
As long as it is not infected, he doesn't have to numb it, nor does he have to give me an additional shot of antibiotics.
So, if you have an ingrown toenail, don't even mess with it. Go to the doctor and he'll either numb it and cut, or just trim it back if it's not infected.
-I'm certain that this will be voted Cantrip's most disturbing post to date, except that Gazzic will be whacking-off to the images contained herein since he has an uber foot-fetish.

You are pathetic. I have performed several minor surgeries on my own big toe to get rid of an ingrown nail. No painkillers either. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I actually think I have this. It never gets infected by it hurts when I walk. Interesting, thanks for the heads up.

I'm gonna have to agree with murdy on this one. I'd expect you to be doing this on your own, especially once you found out there's a dremel involved.
And no, not in the least the most worrysome post from you. You're cantrip. There's FAR worse and more awkward. The speakers to me are more horrendous as it shows the tragedies that are your nueral intrerlays whereas the physical of the body is just well....crappy.
These above things are meant as compliments.

I didn't read the full post because the pictures weirded me out. Yes I realize this is an invitation to being called a pussy but the bottom line is I hate things that look infected or have pus in them. God damnit.. Anyways I had an ingrown toenail once. Get it cauterized, and it wont get ingrown again. Fuck self-performed surgery, hooray for medical technology!

When I say I'm certain I have paid for the doc's touring bicycles, I mean it. We have cauterized both toes, left and right side of each toenail at least eight times over the past dozen years. He clips out the toenail graph, or the part that grows, then uses a Q-tip dipped in some kind of acid to burn the spot so the nail doesn't grow again, only it doesn't always work. If I catch it early, we don't have to go through that and he doesn't have to charge me for the anaesthetic, antibiotics or the specialized procedure. He just clips the nail. And yes, I have tried to fix it myself, only to make it way worse and end up having to go to him anyway. I don't mess around with this anymore. You should be more like Cantrip.

BTW, Cantrip, I have only had to do it a few times and it has not come back in some time now. If you want to buy me a touring bike, come down to San Antonio and I will be happy to cut you. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

You know, I've known Cantrip a while now. He's the quirkiest cat that we have in the forums, and I've been on a mission to discover one thing that could quite possibly help me understand him: what would his girlfriend be like? I began to list attributes that Cantrip may find attractive. Ultimately I discovered that Cantrip is indeed, weird beyond all belief. I found it best to list his girlfriend as he might understand it best: in HTML. So after months of research, my friends, I have come to a very close pinpoint on what I believe could quite possibly be Cantrip's perfect girlfriend: <girlfriend> <head> <face="soft" content="big lips; beautiful smile" /> .attributes { color: any; hair-type: wavy; eye-color: green; hair-color: brunette; voice-type:non-annoying; personality: weird-beyond-all-belief; } </head> <body> <bust="32C"; bodytype="petite"; weight="110"; height="5'7" /> <boob src=http://scarlettjohansson.com sex?=true, sexloop=true /> .bodyattributes { skin: soft; legs: long; skin-coloration: tanned; tattoo?=true; <img src=http://tubgirl.com /> piercings?=false } </body> </girlfriend> {pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name
Jessica343: so I can get heals
{pDs} Lead Salad: oh damn good idea
{pDs} Lead Salad has changed their name to {pDs} Lead Salad (is a girl)
Jessica343: hahah

That wasn't disgusting at all...just weird that he would put those pictures up. I'm more concerned with how damn clean his camera shots are. Those don't come from a disposable kodak if you know what I mean.
