Home treatment: Ingrown fingernail's may be due to nail biting, improper nail cutting or injury to the nail. The usual treatment is: 1) Soak the finger in warm water for 20 minutes 2-3 times a day 2) Immediately after soaking, wedge a small piece of cotton under the finger nail edge to lift it away from the skin and apply antibiotic ointment 3) If redness or tenderness develop see Dr. to check for infection
