    I did this for almost a year. Shoving the cotton was is excruciatingly painful. I said fuck it and went to a pediatrist. 20 minute procedure later and absolutely no pain if you have insurance please consider it

      What did they do in the procedure? Both big toes have this issue. Maybe I’ll get a referral!

        They had to put a needle in that area which …kinda hurt? Just felt like a small prick. Then afterwards I put in my airpods and let the doctor scrape away. Afterward, no more sensitivity and feeling like I’m going to go through the roof whenever I slightly bump or touch it. Make sure they put the chemical in the area that kills the root.

        I first had this done by a hospital health system and they fucked it up and it was fine with no pain and it slowly came back. Went to a local independent 8 months later and it hasn’t grown back.

        I’ll add an addendum that my wife had to twist my arm to eventually go (first time) as I was worried about the cost. I can’t stress it enough to please go if to can
