Answer 1

I wouldn't advise it.

Realistically, you won't bleed to death from cutting your toe open. I imagine you'll get an infection in it.

Even with Ice, It'll hurt like crazy.

Leave it to the professionals.

Answer 2

use ice or something

Answer 3

pUT It in a Freezer

Answer 4

It is not a do it your self operation = if you faint in the middle of it you may bleed to death before you finish.  But Ice can work for numbing the toe and get some help from someone that actually knows how to fix an ingrown nail.  The doc that fixed it the first time is likely to fix it right the second time -  

Answer 5

Try an ice pack or soak in some really cold water with ice in it- will also help soften the nail ready to trim it

If its a regular problem - perhaps a regular treatment by a podiatrist would be a good investment  

Answer 6

break it

Answer 7

You Can Buy Orajel or some kind of cream or liquid that contains Lidocaine or Novocaine so you can place it on your toe and it will numb it for like 5 minutes
