My 1-month-old baby has an ingrown toenail, what should I do?

If your 1-month-old baby has an ingrown toenail, it's best to monitor the situation closely. In many cases, it resolves on its own. Avoid trying to cut or pull out the nail. When the nail grows out, make sure to trim it straight. If there is an increase in swelling or redness, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional.
