Ingrown toenail: The best thing to soak your ingrown toenail in is a foot bath of Epsom salts and warm water for approximate 5 to 10 minutes. If this does not relieve your symptoms he will need to see a podiatrist for further evaluation.

Think it over.: Since you nails are both ingrown and hard to cut, why not have then examined by a specialist. The problem can be permanently corrected in the office with pain and risk. At least see a specialist for the specifics so that you can be informed before you consent.
