You can not : It is difficult to remove the ingrown nail while doing 'bathroom' surgery. An ingrown nail is when a nail spicule protrudes downward into the nail groove. That is the most difficult part for an individual to perform on themselves. Very often that spicule gets worse and infection will occur. This infection is very close to the bone and can easily cause osteomyelitis. See your podiatrist for proper care.
