gives medical advice explicitly in opposition to a hypothetical doctor
says they're not qualified to give medical advice because they're not a doctor
leaves
Your personal experiences with procedures are valid, fam, you can just say it didn't do you or a friend any good and you wish you'd done something else instead.
Personally I love it when people who are not my doctor offer me specific, actionable medical advice. Especially so when it entails surgery to permanently remove my body parts
Not to be pedantic, but the toenail will grow back in this scenario, even after full removal
Fair, edited to bring the final choice back to podiatrist.
i went to a surgeon with mine, he just cut stuff out. didnt even mention the existence of cauterization. so y'know, depends on the doctor you find.
i suffered along for a while more until i found out about it. had to go to a private clinic and pay a lot of money for it, of course, but so far it seems to have worked. we'll see. i'll consider it fixed if i go a whole year without problems. i'm at 6ish months atm.
