What are the treatments for an ingrown toenail and when should we consult a doctor?

Treatment for an ingrown toenail includes soaking the foot in warm water to soften the nail, keeping the foot exposed to air as much as possible, and avoiding wearing tight shoes. If there is significant swelling, discharge, or if the issue persists for more than 7 days, it is advisable to consult a podiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment.
