Can ingrown toe nails resolve on their own?

Yes: Mild cases of ingrown toenails can resolve without surgery. A doctor can examine an ingrown nail and talk about what should be done. In mild cases, the sharp piece of the nail may be encouraged to grow over the skin or next to the skin, instead of into the skin. After a couple of weeks, that corner of the toenail might be ok.

Not usually: Most toenails require help to grow out or will need removal.

Not unless : You try something to alter their growth pattern.
