Reference:
Ingrown toenail (Treatment): If you have diabetes, nerve problem in the leg or foot, poor blood circulation to your foot, or an infection around the nail, see a provider right away. Don't try to treat an ingrown nail at home.   Otherwise, to treat an ingrown nail at home:     - Soak the foot in warm water 3 to 4 times a day if possible. After soaking, keep the toe dry.   - Gently massage over the inflamed skin.   - Place a small piece of cotton or dental floss under the nail. Wet the cotton or floss with water or antiseptic.      When trimming your toenails:     - Briefly soak your foot in warm water to soften the nails.   - Use a clean, sharp trimmer.   - Trim toenails straight across the top. Do not taper or round the corners or trim too short.    - Do not try to cut out the ingrown portion of the nail yourself. This will only make the problem worse.      Consider wearing sandals until the problem goes away. Over-the-counter medicine that is applied to the ingrown toenail may help with the pain, but it does not treat the problem.   If this doesn't work and the ingrown nail gets worse, see your family doctor, a foot specialist (podiatrist), or a skin specialist (dermatologist).   If the ingrown nail doesn't heal or keeps coming back, your provider may remove part of the nail:     - Numbing medicine is first injected into the toe.   - The ingrown part of the nail is removed. This procedure is called a partial nail avulsion.   - It takes 2 to 4 months for the nail to regrow.      If the toe is infected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.   After the procedure, follow any instructions for helping your nail heal.
