Ingrowing toenail

Treatment in the home
  • Avoid wearing any tight shoes
  • Make a V-shaped cut in the middle of the top edge of the nail: this lessens the pressure of the ingrowing sides of the nail
When to go to the doctor’s
  • If the pain becomes worse
  • If there is any discharge or bleeding from the affected area
  • If you are diabetic
  • If you have recurrent or persistent ingrowing toenails
