chosen.content: Ingrown toenails can often be treated at home. Start by soaking your toe in warm water for 10-15 minutes two or three times a day. After that, gently remove the dead, nonsignificant bits of skin around the toenail border with an emory board, while being careful not to cut the skin. A soft roller might be helpful as well to spread out the pressure. Apply an appropriate topical antifungal and antibiotic ointment, and wrap a bit of cotton gauze around the corner of the nail to ensure the medicine soaks in the toe. If needed, apply a small amount of over-the-counter pain medications to reduce any discomfort. Schedule an appointment with your physician if the toe doesn’t improve in a few days or if the infection spreads to the surrounding skin, causing a bad smell, pus, or fever.

rejected.content: Ingrown toenails can be treated at home by soaking the toe in warm water and gently removing the damaged tissue with an emery board. Alternatively, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium, and applying a bandage or padding over the affected area. For persistent or severe infections, you should consult a podiatrist or other medical professional.
