-
Step 1
Always keep your feet clean. You will want to do this so that infection can be avoided at all costs.
-
Step 2
Soak your feet in warm water and salt for fifteen minutes. Do this 3-4 times a day.
-
Step 3
As soon as your feet are soaked, try to lift the loose skin and remove the ingrown toenail.
-
Step 4
Wear shoes that do not cramp your feet. They can make the situation worse.
-
Step 5
If you notice your ingrown toenail showing signs of infection such as being swollen, redness, or pus then it might be time for a podiatrist to examine your foot.
-
Step 6
If you notice this happening a lot with your toes it is also a good idea to see a podiatrist and tell them about the frequent occurrences. Surgery may be an answer.
