Question:

Whats the best way to take care of an ingrown nail?

It's not that bad...its on the otter part of my great toe on my lt foot...it really hurts when I press down on it...and I decided to wear heals today so the skin next to it got all bloody and it hurts now...so wat can I do...


Answers:

Soak your feet in warm water for about 20 to 30 minutes. Then you can try and dig the in grown nail out. It will hurt. If it is really a problem you can go to your family practitioner and they will cut out the in grown part, they use a local anesthetic, and you will feel nothing. But if you just continue to soak your feet daily, you should be able to take care of the problem your self.

Good Luck!
