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.
Avoiding Common Misconceptions. 1  1. Do not cut the nail. A common misconception about having an infected ingrown toenail is that it needs to be cut. 2  2. Do not dig under the nail. It may be tempting to try to relieve pressure or lift the nail from the skin by digging at the skin underneath. 3  3. Do not attempt to drain an infection.
