    Thanks appreciate people can’t provide medical advice or make recommendations.

    I was hoping to find out if laser is possible in Dublin and if so who does it. Rather than a recommendation.......

    Never heard of laser being used in an ingrowning toenail, but I’d be interested to know more if this was now a thing.

    Patient.co.uk has an information leaflet you could look at - https://patient.info/foot-care/ingrowing-toenails-ingrown-toenails.

    Otherwise, you tend to need a professional to use something sharp to sort it out!

    Most painful way possibly was the only one that stopped it happening for me. Partial nail bed excision to both big toes. Delightful smell of burning flesh and quite nasty wounds for a few days / dressings for weeks

    Clearly done by a trained professional
