A member asked:

I have an infected toe i think this an ingrown nail its all red and hurts what can i do to reduced the pain and redness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain meds + Ice/heat: + elevate + Antibiotics. See your PCP for the early treatment and antibiotics, but if no improvement then the nail would need to be removed ( partial or completely). Soaking in warm saline also is helpful.
