We have all likely suffered from the annoying ingrown toenail at some point in our lives: it appears out of nowhere, then remains for days as the skin around the nail aches and swells. There’s typically no cure for an ingrown toenail; you just have to wait it out in most cases. But a strange new Japanese contraption, known as the “Makizume Robo Ingrown Toenail Fixer,” claims to solve that problem for you.
