Will soaking your ripped off toenail in salt water help?
Yes, that will help prevent any infection. Then, put some antibiotic cream on the wound...where the toenail used to be. Then, if you want, put a band-aid on the area to keep it clean. Don't worry, they grow back eaisily!
How do you get your ingrown toenail out?
If your ingrown teonail is red and swollen, then go to a doctor. They will numb your toe with a small needle and get the ingrown toenail out. The needle is the worst part if this "surgery".However, if your ingrown toenail is not red and swollen, you can probadly get needle nose nail clippers and dig it out. This will be somewhat painful and may grow back worse.From experience, i would definatly go to the doctor the first time and just get it over with so i know it will not grow back.

Simple and Successful Treatment Of an Ingrown Toenail?
Ingrown toenails are common in adults. The toenail that is usually affected is the big toe, but it can happen with any toe. The first signs are pain and redness where a sharp edge of the nail has started growing into the skin. If left untreated, an infection can occur, which is evident with light skin surrounded by red skin, swelling and possibly a fever. Once it has reached this point, professional medical treatment is necessary. In the early stages of an ingrown toenail, the condition can easily be healed with simple home-care. Soak the foot 3 to 4 times a day in warm water for fifteen minutes. The goal is to guide the toenail away from the skin and force it to grow in a different direction. After soaking, roll a small piece of gauze or cotton between your fingers to make a small wick. Waxed dental floss may also be used. Lift up the corner of the toenail that is pushing into the skin and place the wick between the nail and skin. Although painful, this is necessary to stop the toenail from growing in further. Finish each soaking with a new wick and try to push it in a little further. Apply a topical antibiotic ointment and protect the nail area by keeping it dry with a bandage or white socks. The dyes in colored socks may seep into the wound and cause more problems. Wear loose, comfortable shoes. If possible, wear open-toed sandals. Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen and continue treatment until pain and inflammation subsides. If there is no improvement after 3 days, consult your doctor. For people who have diabetes, nerve damage or poor circulation, it is critical that only professional treatment be obtained. Doctors may prescribe an antibiotic or perform an in-office procedure by removing part of the nail. The best scenario is preventing ingrown toenails altogether. Cut toenails in a straight line, not rounded and not too short. Wear proper-fitting shoes, not high-heels, too tight or loose shoes. Taking these precautions will lessen the chances of ever having to suffer with an ingrown toenail again.
What is the best way to sooth a ingrown toenail?
It is important to understand why the toenail is ingrown!One of the main reasons is that people tend to cut the nail in a curve, following the edge of where it is attached underneath. This makes the shape of the nail curved. It is longer on the middle than at the edges. Over time this will make the nail curve upward in the middle where it is longest and down at left and right side. This can lead to an ingrown nail, as it cuts into the skin on left or right (even both sides) as it grows.The "best" method to use "curing" this condition is a combination of two.1: left and right sides should be cut straight at an angle of approx 5-10 degrees as far down towards the middle of the nail as you can painfully stand. This would make the nail push the skin to the sides (rather than grow deep into the skin) as it slowly grows outwards.2: Use a nail-file on the top middle and towards the root of it. File away approx 1/3 of the thickness, no more. This should make the nail curve upwards instead of down. (Do not expect miracles. This process of curving the nail upwards will take some days if not weeks.)In order to avoid ingrown nails in future:1: Never cut the nails short. Leave a millimeter or two.2: Always cut them straight over. This makes sure that they do not curve downwards as much.3: Use a nail-file to weaken the nail slightly on top middle towards the root. This "encourages" the nail to grow upwards rather than down at the sides.Notes.Procedures described is similar to what a doctor normally would use or suggest.A doctor would normally give a local anesthetic before performing this action. There are some local numbing cream available that could be used at most pharmacists or drugstores. Leave cream on to work for 10 min before doing anything. This will ease the pain a bit.Badly ingrown nails some times require part of the root to be removed. I do not suggest doing this yourself.I have used above-mentioned procedure on my painful toenail since I was 16. Now at the age of 40, I rarely have any problems, and if the toenails starts something I just follow this procedure and a week afterwards or so, all problems are gone again.Must admit that I have a high threshold for pain. lol
Are the cuticle and the quick the same thing?
Sometimes used interchangeably, they are very close. The "quick" is the soft, tender flesh below the growing part of a fingernail or toenail. The "cuticle" is the dead skin at the base of a fingernail or toenail.
Can you use veet after an ingrown hair?
I'm not sure, but I used Veet on my stomach and back and now I have ingrown hairs all over and they're really itchy (at least i think they are ingrown hairs usually pimples aren't that itchy but I can't see any hair inside of the bumps). I'm afraid to use Veet again because of this especially because the bumps are still there (I used Veet last week).
