I'm wondering how long does it take for an ingrown toenail to heal?

Depends on treatment: If you do not seek treatment, then could take a long time to heal. With treatment, the 'fix' could be as little as a day or two or as much as a month or so. Usually this is an office procedure, but this is based on the severity of the problem and your general medical condition.

Depends: It depends on how it is treated. If surgical removal 10-14 days.
