That's what I had done on one side, the other one fully removed (might've been half removed before that).
Which just brought back the amazing memory of watching my GP fuck it up while under local anesthetic. He took half the nail off, fine, he then cut the infected bit totally off. When the anesthetic wore off, it was one of the worst pains I've ever felt. Lol. They're just supposed to lob a bit of nail off, and then the infection should clear up as it doesn't have a toenail wedging itself into the flesh 24/7

The method I had the doctor use years back was to cut a strip of nail off right back to the bed and then dab that side of the bed in some kind of chemicals to stop it growing (resulting in a narrower toe nail I assume). Done under local anaesthetic
