To treat an ingrown toenail, you can soak the affected toe in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften the nail. Then, cut the nail straight across to prevent it from growing into the skin. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment if there are signs of infection. If the ingrown toenail is causing a fever or a worsening of the condition, it is important to see a doctor for evaluation. In some cases, a podiatrist may need to perform a minor procedure to correct the ingrown nail. It is important to seek medical attention if the ingrown toenail is causing severe pain or signs of infection.
