It is only a toenail, there is no reason to be scared of it! Some people find relief from ingrown toenails by cutting a small "v" shaped wedge out of the nail in the centre of the affected toe. Checking that your shoes fit correctly also helps.

You are scared to go to the doctor about and ingrown toenail what should you do?

1) You should go to the doctor. 2) In the meantime, you can soak your toe in Epsom salts. If it's bad enough you can put a TINY amount of cotton under the nail to try to pull it out of the bed. Wear shoes with a wider toe box to help relieve pressure. Be sure if you're exercising your nails are not too long. Pressure on the nail increases the likelihood of an ingrown toenail.


Why do ingrown toenails hurt?

Ingrown toenails hurt because what is happening is that your toenail is penetrating the skin. when anything penetrates your skin it will hurt. The toenail will press on nerves in the toe. another reason that it hurts is that it is infected. The way to treat an infected ingrown toenail is to remove the toenail from the opening in the skin with nail trimmers then soak the toe in warm salt water. Hope this helps!!
