Dr. Scholl's Ingrown Toenail Pain Reliever, 1 kit, (w/Gel, 12 Retainer Rings & 12 Protection Bandages)

helps painful toes

This product does smell like absolute death, even if you're very careful to seal the gel in as cleanly as possible. Be aware of this.However, it does work- swelling went right down and after a few days and the nail was flexible enough to lever the edge out to trim it and remove THE ENORMOUS BARB that was apparently slashing up the nail bed every time it healed and I walked a little too fast on it.So yes, it's unpleasant, but not as nasty as a ragged, bleeding, infected toe being continually gouged by the nail. That's just horrid. Thank goodness for this stuff.

I don't know how but this stuff actually works !! . I lost a nail whilst climbing a mountain which isn't even sore But it then grew in weird and caused all sorts of problems . I've tried the wee plastic things you squeeze under your nail,the metal clamps and just plain digging it out . It became very painful recently and I couldn't even touch it .Day 1 of treatment was sore ,I think the pressure of the plaster was the issue but day 2 was easier and I realised the throbbing wasn't there any more . Day 3 and the redness had gone from the skin and I was able to press on it with no pain ,I also noticed the nail was softer where the gel was being used.I'm on day 4 now and completely pain free. I can run a nail tool around the side and gently lift the nail . I think the pain may be gone because the nail is softer .As I said,I don't know how this works but it really does . My next "step" was a chiropodist which I was dreading but it looks like I won't be needing that .100% buy this stuff if you even think you need it !

The media could not be loaded. As others have mentioned doesn’t really help with ingrown toenail. If anything it seems to make it worse. I was worried after reading some of the reviews that items are missing from the box. I did not have this gel went on easily but seem to make my ingrown, toenail and toe More painful I find it a lot better just to use TCP and soak my foot in hot water and salt and the price is way over the top for what you get also find the spongy circle things you’re supposed to put a around your toe before putting plaster on, gets in the way when you tried to put your shoes on, and the plasters do not stick very well

Easy to use . However the sulphuric smell was bad.

Very disappointed

It works. 2 days of using this and I could painlessly put a file under the nail and peel it away. It sort of breaks down the structure of the nail. Okay, it stinks of rotten eggs but it works! I've paid to have my nails clipped professionally (£35 a time) and it didn't work. I have to wait for the nail to grow a bit but so far, no pain.

Great for husbands fungal nail infection and it worked.
