I get ingrown toenails about every month. i can't seem to prevent the or make them go away! what should i do?

See dermatologist: There are several causes for ingrown toenails from improper shoes to skin infections. Sometimes these nails need surgical narrowing.

Nail Surgery: You need a permanent partial nail removal on the side of the toe that's growing in. You need to see a podiatrist for a full evaluation

Removal...: ...Is the only permanent solution. Just the painful border can be removed, or the entire nail if necessary. After removal you can let the border grow out again, or your doctor can use a chemical to stop the nail from regrowing. If you're concerned, don't perform bathroom surgery on yourself. That can lead to an infected ingrown toenail, which could require antibiotics.
