Once I had an ingrown nail for too long, like 6 months of constant pain or so. I went to the podiatrists and they fixed it up in 10 minutes or so, took a week to heal. Its certainly well worth the $15 copay (or whatever).
I occasionally get them now but they grow out after a day or so. If you go to the docs they can fix it so that doesn't happen anymore. It's probably the only doctors visit I would recommend, and I can't stand going to the doctors. They usually just tell me what I know already.
