I spent years with an ingrown toenail. I could walk on it just fine but if I stubbed it I’d be down for about 10 minutes. Finally just went to the Dr and he fixed it right up. Now when I cut the nail I just have to make sure I don’t cut it too short or risk it becoming ingrown again. I was kicking myself for not having done this sooner.
For me, they applied local anesthesia, grabbed the nail with some tool, then pulled it the fuck off. I don’t know if this is how it is always done, but this was a military doctor (I was a dependent).
To make it better, I watched them do it. When applying anesthesia at one point I watched the doctor stick the needle into my toe and just spray it onto the floor because he went all the way through. I also had a trip to NYC a few days after, so I walked around there with a toe bleeding and wrapped in gauze. It was a memorable time.

Can you please explain the process the doctor did to correct it? Everything online involved some surgery. Your comment made it look less painful.

Arg!! I cringed the fuck out reading this. This is all I have read they do online.
