Ok here is my problem, also before anyone starts I am not after medical advice here ( I know what needs to be done).

But my question is;

"One quick yank, or edge off bit by bit?"

Rip it off and reduce the pic size!

I had the same happened to my little toe, half of the nail was gone and there was blood allover the place. How can such a small thing bleed so much is beyond me. Anyway, use a pair of pliers to take it out.

ps. HAHA!

YUCK (kill it with fire)

p.s big pic!

I had that a while back but only on about half the nail. I'm not sure if ripping off the entire nail is such a good idea, it won't kill you though.

That's ****ing rank mate

Go see a foot doc

dont pull it off tbh :/ it will grow itself out and that way you dont bleed everywhere and get gangrine in your toe leading to a leg amuptation

or Icould just be paranoid :rolleyes:

Actually yer, rip it off and take pic's

Quicker you pull it off the less pain!
Pull it off to slow more than likely it will bleed and cause you more pain!

PardonTheWait · 15 May 2006 at 20:28

Just leave it dude, it'll be fine.

The only way to be sure is to amputate your leg.

mmm milkybar buttons anyone

Neoni · 15 May 2006 at 20:29

rip it off, and take pictures, it may hurt but will feel good also!

atpbx · 15 May 2006 at 20:29

I wouldnt rip it off as half the nail is still attached to the extremely UN pain resistant soft flesh of your big toe.

Wrap it in a dressing and leave it till it comes off.

I would hate to think of you crying like a big girl after trying to rip that off .

oh well you could have said that

cut it up with a tiny pair of scissors, ripping out in one go will leave you in lots of pain and bleeding everywhere.

what did you get in the day thread?

50% or more rip it of with video evidance to regain your MANlyness.

A layer of mustard should do the trick. Apply in quantity, leave to dry.

Sparky__H · 15 May 2006 at 20:30

You rip that out your going to damage yourself
