How do you make nails THINNER?!
Question: Someone I know has a toenail that is about 1/4 in. thick & it keeps getting ingrown. (I'm guessing it's due to an old injury, I don't know) Is there any way to make it thinner?
Answers:
go to a foot specialist and have them take a look at it, if its from an injury it could be permanatly damaged and the ingrown part can be pulled out. that sucks for your friend ive heard if you do have to get the nail pulled it is extremely painful. tell your "friend" feel better

um. cut it or bite it not ur toes but i bite my finger nails (REALLY bad habbit) and i have really short nails probably not even an inch long
A really strong/good nail file. If you file the nail down repeatedly it will natuarally thin out. Some ppl are simply prone to thick nails. if hes nto too macho get him to go get a pedicure. tehy can pull the nail out a lil and cut it so it will stop growing at a curve, causing the ingrown!
