Cut a "triangle" in the centre of the toe nail by using your nail clippers to cut down and the rest of the nail straight across. That'll make the nail grow inwards, not outwards. After about a month or two your problem will be gone, without surgery. I used to get them all the time, and the med techs recommended that method.

God forbid a potentially qualified applicant should be concerned about something small leading up to his medical, and should have the temerity to make a post asking those who may have already been there, done that and may be able to steer him straight on whether he needs to get anything done prior in order to avoid wasting his own or anyone else's time.
The worst part is when he came to your house, kicked in the door, punched your cat, grabbed you by the back of your head and screamed READ THIS! as he shoved your face into the monitor and clicked over to the applicable thread at army.ca, forever depriving you of a minute of your life.
There is no shortage of people who come over to army.ca and make their very first post in the 'enrolment medical' section with a question. Not unlike your own first post back in 2009.

I think the point is more that someone looking to get in doens't know what's a big deal and what isn't, and so they come here and ask.
An ingrown toenail actually is a perfectly valid concern for someone who's going army, and I understand why someone might worry when they've not yet been told not to.
On the other hand though, folks, lstpierre has also been a good sport about this after my first reply. No need to turn it into a dogpile.
