Ha, that’s been presented as an option. I’m pleasantly surprised I didn’t receive the common “just cut your nails properly / some other remedy” response that doesn’t apply to my two big toes that have nails that grow backwards into my flesh lol.
Fortunately for me I don’t have to worry about infection, rather, I’ve gotten so used to them prevention is easy. And my one big toe now grows the I ingrown portion somewhat separate, so when I notice it ingrown I can pull it out like a loose tooth. The other one I still have to get operated one once every few years, and because I’m in the lucky % that has nail beds that regrow, the “destroy part of the nailbed” solution only works for a year or so.
Another reason I’m not getting the entire nail remove lol.

Oh, yeah, I had the partial nailbed regrow twice on each big toe - getting rid of 100% of the bailbed prevented it from coming back!
