This is simply remedy in healing an ingrown toenail. This does not however, replace the advice of a physician.





Step 1





Cease all toenail cutting. Cutting and peeling your toenails incorrectly leads to ingrown toenails. Step 2 needs to be last trim you need to make a for a while.





Step 2





Take a pair of toenail clippers and clip a V into the nail that has the ingrown nail. It needs to be as close to the side that is ingrown as possible. Try to cut away and nail that is growing into the skin. By cutting a V into the nail this will cause the nail to grow towards the cut and out of the skin.





Step 3





Soak your foot in peroxide to clean out any infection. Do not attempt to cut any more from the nail and in the future, only use clippers and never clip too close to the skin. If Step 2 does not work after 2 weeks, you may need to see a doctor.





Or try this





Take an emery board, and file across the top of your toenail, until the nail is soft on top, actually on the top, not the edge of the nail. (it will be a little tender for a day or two) Do this until you have a complete growth cycle of the nail (about a year, you will have to file it about every 6-8 weeks or so) It will make the nail stronger in the center, and weaker on the sides after a while, and the nails will naturally grown out of the skin permanently. Then have regular pedicures to keep the nails trim and filed to the right shape.





Good luck
