Product Information

If you have an ingrown toenail already, the Scholl Ingrowing Toenail Kit is a simple two-step solution that includes a toenail clip to help stimulate straight-growth and a cooling spray to soothe away the inflammation and relieve the pain. An ingrowing toenail typically affects teenagers and young adults the most. A number of things can cause an ingrowing toenail to develop and if left untreated, could pierce the skin. An ingrown toenail can cause inflammation around the toenail, overgrown skin, bleeding or a build-up of fluid in the surrounding area of the toe. All of which can be quite painful. When you look at the size of the clip you think it is to small to fit a big toe especially if your nails are curved. This is how I approached the task: I firstly sprayed on the area of pain to help relieve this, then practised sliding one of the clips over and under the nail, I found you could get one side under and to remain but the other kept popping out. I realised that it would need gluing in place to keep it there, please be careful with the glue as I guess its a form of super glue try not to get it everywhere as you do not need me to tell you of the consequences. What I found best was to push the clip in place and hold it there and then apply glue around it, still holding until it had set, 3 days later still in place despite wearing shoes and getting in the bath. I felt relief almost immediately where it removed the pressure of the nail into the skin, it was little tender if I pressed it but now 3 days later I feel like its a wonder cure.

I had 2 ingrown toenails, the left being the worst. I have to admit to being sceptical as to whether this would work but I had tried several things without success. After soaking my foot for 20 minutes I then tried to get the first clip onto the nail. It was difficult and then thought I had managed only to find the clip had snapped. Attempt 2 was much better. I found that by sliding 1 edge of the clip onto the nail where it's curved worst and then lifting it to slide on the other edge had much better success. This was a process I repeated on future occasions each one successfully. As the day went on, I started to get quite uncomfortable.
