Have you ever had to have a toe nail removed due to an ingrown toenail?

There was a customer at the restaurant where I worked, a retired priest, who was so obese he couldn't reach his feet. His toenails were so ingrown he had to be knocked out and undergo surgery to have them fixed!

I've not but I used the dental tape/floss method alongside soaking in warm water to sort mine before they got to that point.

Not removed but had it cut open to trim and root killed on both my big toes.
