Get them removed.  It's easier in the long run.

Whatever you do , don't watch a YouTube video of ingrown toenails being removed .

I suffered with them as a teen on both big toes apparently you should cut the nail straight across and not curved  each end ? 
Used to go to the gp and I’ve had them frozen and cut down the side then it yanked out , then I used to butcher them myself and in the end I was referred to hospital was given general  anaesthetic and had both removed and nail bed bone scraped was told they would grow back and both did jagged  and horrible looking lol

I had my big toenail , and the one next to it , removed on both feet . Two grew back( they aint a pretty sight), and two didn't.

When I had the first two done , I explained to the woman doing it that anaesthetic doesn't work very well on me. She took no notice whatsoever,  and the anaesthetic wore off when she was halfway through removing the big toenail.  She wasn't able to give me any more anaesthetic,  so I had to grit my teeth for the next ten minutes while she chopped away with that little spear thing . I was pretty close to pissing my pants .

I've got one quite bad, but you are right   you are  supposed  to just cut straight across  and don't cut the sides.it does work because the nail start too  grow  to the top  of your toe, and not dig in to the side of your toe.you got just let them grow that bit longer, better that than full blown  pain with them. Got fungal toe on one foot, had looked at, it don't hurt  I just grind the nail right low, then don't look to bad .I was told how they remove toe nail, very pain, cut nail.out, then while  still raw flesh. They pour a type of acid into the nail bed, that kill the root, and never grows  back.so just have toe no nail, raw flesh.you have to be careful  that they don't get infected  even later on, because  you nothing protect  it now no nail.me.i rather  stay as I am with out the pain  of a Op, etc.
