An ingrown toenail is a common problem and happens when the side edge of a toenail grows into the skin tissue around it. It’s important to treat ingrown toenails as soon as they start in order to prevent infection and to keep it from getting worse.\n
We’ve gathered the most common and proven remedies against ingrown toenails. Remember, to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Read carefully through this article in order to be aware of how to treat them if they occur.\n
Soaking your feet in warm water with Epsom salt will help you to reduce any soreness. Also, the nail will get softer and easier to cut afterward.\n
Apple cider vinegar is known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities. It’ll help to prevent infection and relieve swollen skin.\n
Turmeric paste has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving qualities, so it will reduce the swelling and the pain from the ingrown toenail.\n
Lemon and honey have a great antimicrobial effect on the skin. They’ll fight the possible infection in the affected toe.\n
In order to keep your toenail slightly raised, place a small cotton wedge under it.\n
This works better right after soaking in a foot tub, causing the skin and nail to get softer.\n
In order to prevent ingrown toenails from occurring again, learn how to trim your nails correctly.\n
Choose open-toed sandals and sensible footwear in order to provide extra room for your toes. An ideal variant would be those made of soft fabrics that allow your skin “to breathe” while leaving room for your toes. Actually, tight and uncomfortable shoes are one of the reasons toenails might start growing into the skin in the first place. High heels aren’t an option either, as they add pressure to the toes.\n
If nothing helps and your toe doesn’t get better in 2-3 days, see your doctor. They might prescribe an oral or topical antibiotic. Your general practitioner is usually able to treat an ingrown toenail but if it looks like a complicated case and is painful with extreme swelling, you’ll probably want to see a podiatrist.\n
