For involuted nails, part of the nail that is curling into the flesh is removed and then the edges of the nail are filed to a smooth surface Visit a foot doctor (podiatrist). Infected ingrown toenails should not be treated at home, which is true for most infected wounds. Visit a podiatrist (more commonly known as a foot doctor) to get treatment for your infection. If the infection and nail are bad enough, minor surgery may be required. For the most part, however, a simple surgical procedure involves numbing the nail bed and then your doctor removing part of the ingrown nail with clippers or scissors. Ingrown toenails can be painful, but they’re usually easy to treat at home. Wearing proper-fitting shoes, trimming your nails straight across, and soaking your feet can help prevent ingrown toenails.

This can help relieve pressure and pain, separating the nail from the skin slightly.

Salicylic acid based OTC products are most commonly used and may take a few months of consistent application [28] Patients should be advised not to burst blisters and that they can be covered with plaster or gauze if additional protection or cushioning is required. Lifestyle advice Patients using OTC treatments can be advised to debride the surface of the wart gently with a file (e.g. emery board) or pumice stone once weekly. However, this should be done carefully as there is a risk of further spread of the infectious material. Patients should also soak the wart for five minutes before treatment to soften it. In the meantime, excellent suggestion of saltwater footbaths are ideal, pat dry with CLEAN gauze or such and drop some tcp/or other on to it, then dry dressing.

recommend that any patient with suspected onychomycosis should have laboratory confirmation before treatment, particularly if oral antifungal therapy is being considered. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may help relieve ingrown toenail pain. Side effects are unusual unless you take more than the daily recommended amount of 2 325 milligram (mg) tablets every 4 to 6 hours. Do not exceed 10 tablets in 24 hours and don’t take it with alcohol. The nail becomes ingrown when the side of the nail cuts into the skin next to the nail. This can become painful. The skin next to the nail may also become infected or inflamed. Kwok CS, Gibbs S, Bennett C et al. Topical treatments for cutaneous warts. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2012;(9):CD001781. doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD001781.pub3 Wearing sensible shoes that fit well is a good preventative measure. For example, a shoe with a strap or lace over the instep holds the foot secure and helps stop it sliding forward. Wider shoes provide toes with room to move and heel height should be no more than 4cm for maximum comfort.

If the ingrowing part of the nail is small, a non-surgical fix may be possible. It may be prevented from becoming worse, and sometimes cured, by the following. This treatment may be given by a podiatrist or other healthcare professional, or you may be shown how to do it yourself. I will have a look at private in my area. I don't get home until after 6pm so will see if any are open. Salicylic acid preparations are available in a range of treatments, including gels, paints, plasters, solutions and ointments, and they often also include lactic acid. Gel treatments may also contain colophony, which may cause an allergic reaction in some patients [30] Cover your ingrown toenail with an over-the-counter ointment, such as petroleum jelly, and a bandage. This will help keep your toenail clean and protected as it grows out.

You’re diabetic. Diabetes reduces the blood supply to the feet, meaning foot conditions can be slow to heal. Also, because of numbness or reduced sensitivity in the feet, you could have an ingrown toenail and not feel it If the nail is infected, this may also help to soak up any moisture that is trapped under the nail. Firstly, learn to cut your nails properly. Nail cutters aren’t a good idea because the curved cutting edge can cut the flesh, and nail scissors can slip. It’s best to use nail nippers (available from chemists) because they have a smaller cutting blade but a longer handle. Cut your nails straight across and don’t cut too low at the edge or down the side. The corner of the nail should be visible above the skin. Also, cut them after a bath or shower when the nail is much softer. Do not dig under the nail. It may be tempting to try to relieve pressure or lift the nail from the skin by digging at the skin underneath. Do not do this, though, because it can intensify an infection and make the ingrown nail worse. A bunion is a deformity of the big toe, where the big toe excessively angles towards the second toe and leads to a bony lump on the side of the foot. This can also form a large sac of fluid, known as a bursa. Treatments
