Ingrown toenail treatment can be challenging, especially for people who are already inflamed. An ingrown toenail is often painful, even when there's no pressure applied. The affected area will become red, swollen, and hard. A doctor may recommend a procedure called wedge resection, which will remove the ingrown toenail. The procedure is done with a laser or with chemicals. An ingrown toenail can occur in any toe, including the big toe. If you have one of these, you should try to treat it at home as soon as possible. You can soak your toe in warm Epsom salt water for 20 minutes. To help kill bacteria and encourage proper nail growth, you can place soaked cotton under the nail. Then, you should apply antibiotic ointment to the affected area. If you are concerned about the infection, it's best to avoid wearing high-heeled shoes or wearing socks that restrict airflow. You should see a doctor if you experience these symptoms. Ingrown toenail treatment is generally self-directed. You can use cotton and Epsom salts to relieve pain and swelling. If the symptoms don't go away or continue to return, you should visit the doctor immediately. A visit to the urgent care center is essential if you suspect an infection. A doctor can prescribe you an antibiotic ointment. Ingrown toenails are usually harmless, but if left untreated, they can cause more serious problems. If you have poor circulation or nerve damage, you should consult a doctor. If you wait too long to see a doctor, your toenail may become infected and cause infection.

If you have it for more than a few days, you can use an Epsom salt bath. Alternatively, a doctor can prescribe antibiotic ointment. In severe cases, you should seek medical attention, as the ingrown toenail can turn into an infection. If you don't have the time to visit an urgent care center, it might be too late. Depending on the severity of the problem, you may be able to take care of the ingrown toenail at home. You can soak your foot in warm Epsom salt water for about 30 minutes to soothe the affected area. Afterwards, you should apply an antibiotic ointment to the infected area.
