Visit a foot doctor (podiatrist). Ingrown toenails that become infected should not be treated at home, which is true for most infected wounds. Visit a podiatrist, more commonly known as a foot doctor, to get treatment for your infection. If the infection and nail are bad enough, minor surgery may be required.
Alcohol disinfects the scissors to prevent infection after you snip the hangnail. Fill a bowl with warm water and dip your toes into the bowl. Let your toes soak for 10 minutes. This softens the skin and makes it easier to take care of the hangnail. Remove your toes from the water and dry them off. Hold the toe firmly with one hand and lift the hangnail with the other. Gently pull it up from the skin. Snip the hangnail at its base. Try to make the cut clean and quick. Donât pull or tug on the skin. Soak another cotton ball in alcohol and wipe it over the cut area to clean it.
