How To Treat An Ingrown Toenail?

• Answer:

  as the previous answer said, you need to remove it. you can go to the doctor, but considering it is 3 days, you must act fast before it gets bigger and requires stitches. you can try to remove yourself, it is a bit painful but it will save the you the trouble of stitches etc... put your feet in hot water and some salts, as you may know nails get more tender with water. if you try to cut while it s dry and hard, you may cut the good part and let the ingrown loose inside your toe. once you feet are wet and the nails are tender, take the edge of a toe nail clipper and slide it all the way to the side of the nail, you will feel a resistance and some pain, push and pull a little towards the outside and the ingrown part of the nail shall show up, clip it. 24 hours and the pain will be gone. be careful if you dont do it right, more pain for you and doctor for sure.
