What to do if i have a ingrown toenail and i need help removing it?

OPTIONS: You may need to seek the help of one of four specialists: general surgeon, podiatrist, orthopedic surgeon, or plastic surgeon. Make some calls - this can usually be managed the same day in the office. Good luck.

See a podiatrist: They can take care of this in a matter of minutes.

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.
