How to remove infected ingrown toenail?

I Have An Ingrown Toenail Which Is Very Infected. What Is The Best Way To Remove This?

  • Answer:

    I had one of those bad when I was little. I went to a foot doctor. He cut out half my toe nail. And man it felt so much better. Your toenail WILL grow back and my advice to you is cut them straight across so they don't have a chance to have a point at the end to grow up into your skin. LOOK IN A PHONE BOOK TO SEE A FOOT DOCTOR.  He just numbed my toe with a shot then went in and removed the part that was causing the problem. I had no pain during or even after. Felt much better and your toe nail will grow back.you wont regret it. I promise

You need to go and see someone else! I know what it's like to have one of those. OUCH!! Don't just settle for that, in the meantime, soak the toe, and I know this sounds gross, but use a nail file, and clean out under the nail both under, and along the side of the toe. It will hurt, but it might bring some relief for a while until you can see another doctor. Hope this helps, good luck.

Cut from the middle at the top of the toenail, outward, toward the ingrown, slightly where you can get it out of the quick. Soak it in hot water and peroxide, keep antibiotic cream on it to prevent infection. It will probably hurt like hell at first, but that's the only way I know to get it done without having to go to the doctors.

I have the same thing, yes it is very painful...... My toes used to be really bad and I soaked my feet in soapy hot water or mixed in some epsom salts

According to consumer guide of home remedies:  soak foot in Epsom salt & warm water for 10 minutes twice daily.  if infected seek a podiatrist {foot dr.}  good luck♥

You could go to the docker and they will pull it out or you could just cut it with a toenail clipper.
