Hah. I have had an ingrown nail for what... 7 years now? My left one had it 10 years ago and I had surgery in Korea. Job done, never had an issue since.

The right toe, well I was in China. I've had 3 surgeries on it now. The first two made it worse just by ripping the whole nail out and making it grow back wilder, the third just was a more major version of that (seriously, like 4 surgeons, wheeled into a room with bright lights, stayed two nights kinda shit), and it still grew back the same lol.

Nobody seems to know how to solve it in this country but the photos I took of it... I save them to shock friends who think they can't be shocked hahah... And yeah now I just do it all myself. I generally keep it at bay by keeping the side as short as possible at all times and I found a good shape of nail cutter that works for me. But... until I find somebody who will just deal with it in a modern way, blood oozing through my socks every day is just a way of life now.

BUT, at least I can get service here, even if it doesn't actually do much.

I decided to leave this country as soon as graduated seriously.

Probably wise (depending on where you're from).

I suppose England will decay and fall into a third-world state so much so that immigrants will decide to go elsewhere in the end, anyway and we'll be coming to them (as many already are like myself)
