What to do about ingrown toenail treatment unsuccessful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nail care: Try soaking your foot in warm water, removal of embedded debris from the nail borders, and applying an antibiotic ointment to temporarily soften the corners. If you have redness and drainage, get it looked at by a professional, as you may need to have the ingrown nail border removed again. You may benefit with a permanent removal of the ingrown part of the nail.
