How long does it take for the skin remold around the toe after a removal of an ingrown toe nail?

About a month: After the ingrown section of a toenail is cut away, the wound will settle down after a few days. One must be sure to have a doctor look at it then to check for infection and for proper healing. After that, the wound should look better every day, but probably won't look all healed until about a month later. After it has healed, it may improve in appearance over another couple of months.
