How can i treat my ingrown toe nail?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ingrown Nail: Nails should be cut straight across and allowed to grow past the cuticle a couple millimeters. If the ingrown nail is red, swollen, tender or has any drainage, you must be seen by a Podiatrist to have it resected appropriately.
