Turn the nail upside down on a hard surface and hit it with your hammer. A dull nail breaks through the wood and a sharp one can split the wood.

How does a nail work?
A nail, rivet, bolt, or wooden dowel can perform similar functions. The object is to secure wooden members together and prevent them from moving. Nails do this by opposing the weight of the structure with their own resistance to shearing off. In order for a nailed board to move, it must either cut off or extract the nail, or the wood itself can break. The weakest form of nailing is when the weight is trying to pull the nail out of the board. The nail can still oppose this because the nailed wood is applying friction to the circumference of the nail. Where this would not be enough to keep the nail in, screws are usually used instead.

How do you treat ingrowing nail wound infection?
Here's a tip that my father got from a professional (he used to have those very frequently): You can use a nail file to sand the surface of your nail, which will "weaken" it. The sides of the nail will naturally raise out of the skin after a day or two. This will prevent the nail from causing additional damage to the skin tissue. You can then use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the wound regularly until the skin recovers.
