How do you treat a ingrown toe-nail?

  • Answer:

    Treat Ingrown Toenail: Wipe your instruments off with alcohol or betadine. Be sure to get the undersides of your nail clippers, as that is the cutting surface that will be against your skin. Put 2 capfuls of povidone-iodine (Betadine) solution, MORE?

Home care: If you don't have an infection or any of the above conditions, you can soak your foot in room-temperature water (add Epsom's salt if you wish), and gently massage the side of the nail fold to help reduce the inflammation.

Ingrown toenails are treated with warm soaks, elevation, and foot hygiene and possibly minor nail removal.

In its early stages, your podiatrist can help remove the bit of nail that is piercing your skin. Does this help?
