The way you fix an ingrown toe nail is either if it's purple like the one I had 2 years ago, then they put a huge needle in your toe to numb it then they cut your toe open (as you watch) and cut out the ingrown toe nail. And yes, it IS very very painful! But I lived and your toe will never get another ingrown toe nail. People actually pass out from the shot which hurts REALLY bad i just screamed my head off. Now if it's not that bad then there are many different over the counter ways of treating this very painful toe nail.
