How do I get rid of an infected ingrown toe nail?

Home remedies for infected ingrown toenails?

  • recently i developed an ingrown toenail, to make it worse, i got 2 more. one on my left foot (big toe) and 2 on my right foot (both on big toe), AND on top of that... they're infected. great. my mom says that she had one when she was young and has been helping me treat it, this is what she told me to do: - Soak in Javex/Bleach water for 10 mins - Apply 'Polysporin' and a band-aid over night - cut a 'V' shape in the middle of my nail so that the nail will grow towards the 'V' i haven't really seen any results yet and i've been doing this for about 2 weeks now. It's getting really annoying, it's interfering with gym classes at school. so if any of you have any 'Home Remedies' that might help, my mom said that if we can't get rid of them by ourselves, she'll have to take me to the doctor to get surgery, and i REALLY do NOT want that. This isn't mine but it looks a little like mine: http://progressivepodiatrynj.com/articles/images/Ingrown_toenails.gif

  • Answer:

    Sorry, I'm no expert, but I think that treatment sounds good. If it doesn't work, I think your toe will grow out back to normal after some time.
