Ingrown toenail problems after having it removed, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it evaluated.: Ingrown toenails can be temporarily remedied through soaking your foot in warm water, removal of embedded debris from the nail borders, and applying an antibiotic ointment to temporarily soften the corners. Have it looked at by a professional as you may need to have the ingrown nail border removed and you may need antibiotics. You may benefit with having the border removed permanently.
