A member asked:
Could there be a reason to grow out my ingrown nail?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Have it checked: The nail has changed its normal path of growth, and any attempt from your end may cause the nail to ingrow more. This could lead to more pain and possible infection. Consider having it examined properly. Your doctor may suggest treatment with debridement (cutting) as well as use of a topical medication. If it is a chronic problem, a matrixectomy may be suggested. Have it checked.

This ingrown a can be treated with soaking of the foot, temporary border removal. In that there is a genetic trade then there is is a higher change that temporary treatment will cause recurrent of symptoms
