Remove....: Or cut out portion of nail that is ingrown. Depending on severity this can be done with or without anesthesia. If an infection is present, antibiotics may be necessary. In recurrent situations there are procedures to prevent that portion of nail from regrowing.

Nail care: Ingrown toenails can be remedied through soaking your foot in warm water, removal of embedded debris from the nail borders, and applying an antibiotic ointment to temporarily soften the corners. One should always try to cut the nails strait across to avoid leaving an embedded nail spicule. If pain or redness continues get it looked at by a professional.
