What is the procedure for dealing with an ingrown toenail in kids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It may depend on the age and how severe the ingrown nail is. Often if not real bad the edge of the nail can be clipped away. If bad then a small surgical procedure can be performed under local anesthesia
