Dr. Scholl's Ingrown Toenail Pain Reliever, 0.3oz // Medicated Gel Softens Nails for Easy Trimming and Foam Ring and Bandage Protect the Affected Area White

This item works perfectly for me. I have been using it for around 2 years now as I commonly get ingrown toe nails. It is most effective when you are able to constantly apply a fresh one every morning and evening for at least 4 days but I'd recommend doing it for 6 (which should use up the full package). It will make you nail extremely soft and help a LOT with pain reduction.Pros:* Effective* Relieves pain of ingrown toe nail* Makes remove of toe nail very manageable when used correctlyCons:* It is stinky! It will smell like rotten eggs when first applied but that will quickly subside* Must be consistent. The potency of the gel is only good for around 12 hours. If you do not re-apply it may lead to a longer timeframe of use.Overall I would highly recommend this product!

Ive been having major issues with my toe nails as of late, and both my big toes are ingrown on both sides...i have a really bad phobia when it comes to doctors so ive been taking care of it myself and using this product on my toes to soften the nail so i can pry it out without it hurting really bad. Give it like 1 or 2 days with it on your toe, and the nail will stop bothering you, but keep in mind it can only be used for about a week straight before you could have some issues with skin irritation. All and All, excellent product

I got this for an ingrown toenail I had that had begun to break through the skin on the top of my toe. It was to the point that I was considering Partial nail avulsion. I had been trying to remove the ingrown nail myself at home and had ended up just breaking off part of my nail. The piece buried in my skin and beginning to grow through it was still there, and despite my best efforts, every time I tried to dig it out and remove it, I only succeeded in irritating my skin and causing more pain. Anyway, when I got this, I put the gel on and left it. I didn't see any difference and was frankly very disappointed. It wasn't doing too much for the pain and I wasn't making it any easier to get the nail out. I decided to put some more gel on, cover it, then go to sleep. This morning, I did notice that the pain was nearly gone and I was able to work without being bothered by the pain. (I work in a vet clinic and am always running around)I just got home from work about an hour ago and decided to see if there was any change. There was! With just a bit of pressure and the help of some tweezers, the nail piece came right out! It was an instant relief and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I will let you know that the smell of the gel is horrid. Almost like rotten eggs, but I think it's worth it for the results. I would also recommend getting a small ingrown nail removal kit. I got the Bcabo one, and it worked wonders alongside this product! I doubt this product alone would be enough to remove an ingrown nail

This stuff stinks but it really works!! Had a horrible ingrown at the base of my nail, so none of my usual techniques worked. Got it right before going to a work conference, where I had to walk a ton. This stuff took away all the pain and I was able to walk around as much as I needed to.

I was disappointed with this product.In the past it used to come in a little bottle with an applicator in it.You had control over where you put it.This in a tube you don’t have the control, sometimes it comes out of the tube, and another time too much comes out.Didn’t like it.Didn’t work like it did in the past.😡

I get awful ingrown nails on my big toes. It’s kind of freaky, but I get a sharp and pointy second nail growing in underneath my toe nails that I have trouble removing because I can’t lift the ingrown regular nail. I see a pedicurist who can sometimes get it out, but it always comes back and she’s been unavailable lately. So I decided to try this product as I was hurting (though no pus or infection). The first few days I felt no relief other than the ring cushioned my toes so it wasn’t as painful to wear shoes. But on about day 5, I was finally able to lift my nails with a metal tool and remove small but sharp pieces of nail that were causing so much pain. As a precaution, I applied hydrogen peroxide after removing all adhesive residue and washing my feet well.Just an FYI that the gel stinks really bad, and the rings leave adhesive on my nails that ruins my polish and is difficult to remove (acetone nail polish worked for me). Also, I’m out of the rings and strips needed to keep the gel in place but still have gel left, so I wish a couple more rings and strips were included. I had used up a couple (needed to keep that stinky gel in place) when I first tried it but stopped after using it twice as I quickly concluded it didn’t work. But this product really did work for me when I used it longer, and I just bought it again to have on hand to use at the first sign of any ingrown nail pain. I’ll go to a podiatrist if I ever get signs of infection, but I’d rather manage the issue myself and this really works. 5 stars.

This stuff truly works and fast.

I had a horrible ingrown toenail that hurt so bad. My toe was red, inflamed and hurt to touch it or walk! This stuff was a life saver or should I say a Toe Saver..? The directions were easy to understand and the process is pretty interesting. The ointment that’s used did sting a little which was my experience that may not happen to everyone. It’s used to soften the skin to make it easier to remove the ingrown nail. I definitely recommend!
