How do you draw infection from an ingrown toenail?

Evidence that a toenail is actually infected is if the toe has swelling or redness & if there is pus underneath the toenail. If the toenail is infected, you can 1). with the the blade of a finger nail clipper CAREFULLY go under the nail and try pulling it from the skin, 2). soak your foot in a pan of epsom salt mixed with hot water for about 20-30 minutes. If neither work, or if you do not want to try clipping the infected nail yourself, make an appointment with a podiatrist.


How do you cut an ingrown toenail?

take a needle go right into the the part of the toenail by the skin, lift the toenail up with the needle and take the nail clippers and cut it back. or in the front of your toenail right in the middle, cut a v shaped figure. the point of the v should be facing up the toenail. this way the toenail will grow toward each other and will prevent ingrown toenails to happen.
