What can i do to heal the swollen area around the ingrown toenail?

See below: Soak in warm water with epsom salt. Apply an antiseptic and bandaid.

Soak in epsom salts.: Redness and pain along the nail border, sometimes with drainage indicates an "ingrown toenail". If your ingrown nail is infected, you'll likely need antibiotics, and possibly a nail procedure. If you can't get in to see a doctor immediately, soak the toe 10 min/day in luke warm water and epsom salts, use a small amount of topical antibiotic ointment, and cover with a bandaid.
