    Why do patients think that they can treat this themselves? I have seen so many cases lately that have been hugely comlicated by the patient trying to do self treatment for ingrown nails, only to need to come to me urgently when it gets worse, and the treatment is all the more complicated due to the self treatment.

    Because its what they do.
    We all try to self treat for any condition if we can.
    Google and Facebook have made it easier.

    The day that I don't treat my own ingrown toenails is the day I can't reach my own feet.
