2. Grab the sliver with needlenose and peel up, using the cut as a beginning for continuing it until it's torn off under the cuticle and skin.
3. Bleed.
Of course, I spend a bunch of time uselessly fiddling with it first, prying it up out of the skin to give myself a few seconds of relief, packing some Neosporin in like I'm greasing a wheel bearing, etc...

This is what I do except I usually fuck up and when I start to pull it up, the cut veers off to the side and i only remove the ingrown part like halfway back so it still hurts towards the back of the nail. The reason it usually veers off is because I don't use needlenose, i just attempt to grab it with my fat hands
And yeah, the frosting was some sort of antiseptic or salve or something he put on afterwards.
