Get it treated: See a podiatrist or surgeon. You need antibiotics and removal of the ingrown nail from the infected area. This will not get better without appropriate treatment.

Get to a : Podiatrist you need the ingrown toenail removed and possibly to be on antibiotics. A baseline xray may be in order as well.

See a surgeon: To remove the nail either temporarily if not permanently. Nothing else will help.

See a professional: Leaving an ingrown nail untreated could lead to the development of an abscess and possible underlying bone infection. Get it taken care of by a professional to avoid preventable complications.
