Answer 2

Soak it in Epsom salt and warm water so the nail can get soft. I would then try to cut it off, but that's just me.

If it's really bad then go get it checked out by a doctor.

Speaking from experience, go to a foot doctor and have the ingrown toe nail removed professionally. The doctor will do this procedure the right way. Doing it yourself can risk infection and the nail will continue to return. The doctor will use novacaine, so you will not feel the pain and he will cut down part of the infected nail (not the whole nail) and he will pull the impacted area out. The nail must be removed, along with the impacted root beneath the skin, or else it will come back. It sounds worse than what it is, but it will work.

Answer 3

If it isn't to bad I suggest soaking it in hot water mixed with Epsom salts then cutting the nail. If it is bad like mine (swollen, blood, puss) you should probably see a doctor.

Answer 4

You let it grow out. You might want to did in and get it. All of mine are infected, so I have to pop it. And it burst like hell.
