I had an ingrown toenail when a kid in the eighth grade. Mother tried and tried to heal me but it was too painful and wouldn't heal. Nasty looking thing too. The doctor finally just deadened my big toe and took off the entire nail. Don't remember how long it took to grow back but it did grow back completely and looks just like the other big toe nail. Have patience, some things just take time I guess.
