you need to go to a Podiatric, I did have the same problem 5 years ago and didnt go to a doctor because my stupidity, I thought cutting it would solve the problem and of course it did not,the nail kept growing and getting into the skin and it was really painful, at last I went to the podiatric (he was 3 miles from my house and me suffering for a year!)and what he did was that he cut part of the nail (the part that kept growing the wrong direction and getting to the skin) he cut it from the root,apply something and like a miracle that part NEVER grew back, you will never notice you ';lost'; a little part of your nail, try to look for a podiatric,you wont regret it, it hurts a little when he does the procedure but the results are great and you wont suffer in grown nail never!Suffering from increasing pain due to nail -in growth in my left foot toe,someone help me to get ridof it soon
Go the to doctor. I repeatedly have in grown toe nails, I went to the doctor and he removed the roots. My toe looks funny, with half of a toenail, but it doesn't hurt.
My friend had to have an in office surgery done to get rid of hers. You need to go see a foot doctor.
You need to soak your foot in as hot as you can bear water with salt in it, it will draw out the infection
I had that a lot when I was in high school. Try soaking your foot in some warm water with Epsom Salts for a half hour once or twice a day.


You may have to go to the doctor and have him remove part of the nail. I had this done and it was no biggie. He filled my toe full of novacaine and just yanked out the ingrown part. The relief from the pain was immediate and amazing.
See a podiatrist. Be sure to ask about proper maintenance of nails. IE mainly the proper way to cut them. Don't put it off as will only get worst and the end result will be having it removed (owie!)and praying it comes back healthy.


A good manicures may help if it's it's in the early stages but it hard to find one that only makes them pretty and really doesn't have a clue about healthy toenails. Your best bet is a podiatrist.
How Can Ingrown Toenails Be Treated?





In mild cases, ingrown toenails may be treated with a 15-20-minute soak in warm water. Dry cotton can be placed under the corner of the nail. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing increasing pain, swelling and drainage of the area. Minor surgery can be performed to remove the part of the nail that is poking into the skin.





How Can Ingrown Toenails Be Prevented?





You can prevent ingrown toenails by:








Wearing shoes that fit properly


Keeping your toenails at a moderate length and trimming them straight across


Wearing protective footwear





What Are the Treatments?





Most ingrown nail problems can be prevented with proper grooming of the toes and by wearing better-fitting shoes. Try to reduce pressure on the toe by wearing sandals or by not wearing a shoe for several days.





Avoid trimming the corner of the toenail. This can lead to a worsening of the ingrown toenail.





Try soaking your toe in warm water two times a day. If you can, lift the edge of the nail and wedge a piece of cotton between the nail and your skin. If the nail has not been ingrown for long, it may heal in one to two weeks. Seek help from a healthcare professional if home management techniques do not relieve your symptoms or if the nail becomes infected.





If you seek medical help because your ingrown nail has become infected, your doctor will probably prescribe an antibiotic. In some cases, your doctor may recommend partial removal of a severely ingrown nail. Permanent removal of the entire nail may be advised if ingrowth occurs repeatedly. These procedures can usually be done in the doctor's office under a local anesthetic.
