Advice re hang nails?

Problems with a toenail which is very thick. Please advise me what to do.Advice re hang nails?
Soak your feet for a good 20 minutes before you do anything with them! That will make the nail and skin around it soft enough to cut without it hurting. Use a pumice stone to get rid of hard skin, cut your nails straight across (but make sure the corners are rounded off) and use a cuticle cutter to get rid of any little bits of hanging skin. Mositurise them afterwards. Not entirely sure what your problem is (bit more info needed) but if your feet are really bad, I'd go and see a chiropodist first (costs about 拢20) and then just do the upkeep yourself! :)Advice re hang nails?
You should get it looked at by a chiropodist first, but if it is just thick you can buy a machine to thin it. It's a bit like a mini angle grinder with different attachments. It's great for hard skin too.
