I have recently started to develop ingrown toe nails, as a result of my shoes. the area around my nails has become sore, but not infected yet. my med-aid doesn't cover procedures which require hospitalization for this. how can i treat it?

Not a hospital issue: Simple office procedures by primary docs, a podiatrist or dermatologist can fix these. You can get educated on how to avoid recurrence at the same time. In the short term keep the area clean. A soft bristle tooth brush can help. Call your doc.
