These are a few of the most common treatment measures used to cure ingrown toenail:
- Lifting The Nail: If the nail infects the bone or if there is excessive pain and inflammation, the doctor may recommend lifting the nail via a surgical method.
- Apply Antibiotic Cream: Applying antibiotic cream may help prevent infections in the bones, which may further prevent serious complications.
- Take Pain Relievers: Pain killers and other pain-relieving medicines like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may help soothe the pain.
- Soaking Foot: Soaking your feet in warm water for 3-4 times a day helps prevent infections.
- Comfortable Shoes: Wearing comfortable shoes is important as they prevent pain. Wearing sandals and open shoes will always be the recommendation of the doctors as closed and tight shoes increase the chances of pain, swelling, and infections.
