Ok I just notice this evening my toe started hurting on one side and it's a little red on that side so I figured that I have a ingrown toenail What should I do to prevent i from getting worse?
Soak your foot in warm water with epsom salts for 20 or 30 minutes a day for several days. This should help with any infection and make the redness go down. After you soak and dry it, dab a little Neosporin around the nail bed on the inflamed side. If it doesn't start getting better, you may have to go to a podiatrist to get the toenail trimmed out from under the skin. It's not a very pleasant procedure, but it is over quickly.

What is the best way to sooth a ingrown toenail?
It is important to understand why the toenail is ingrown!One of the main reasons is that people tend to cut the nail in a curve, following the edge of where it is attached underneath. This makes the shape of the nail curved. It is longer on the middle than at the edges. Over time this will make the nail curve upward in the middle where it is longest and down at left and right side. This can lead to an ingrown nail, as it cuts into the skin on left or right (even both sides) as it grows.The "best" method to use "curing" this condition is a combination of two.1: left and right sides should be cut straight at an angle of approx 5-10 degrees as far down towards the middle of the nail as you can painfully stand. This would make the nail push the skin to the sides (rather than grow deep into the skin) as it slowly grows outwards.2: Use a nail-file on the top middle and towards the root of it. File away approx 1/3 of the thickness, no more. This should make the nail curve upwards instead of down. (Do not expect miracles. This process of curving the nail upwards will take some days if not weeks.)In order to avoid ingrown nails in future:1: Never cut the nails short. Leave a millimeter or two.2: Always cut them straight over. This makes sure that they do not curve downwards as much.3: Use a nail-file to weaken the nail slightly on top middle towards the root. This "encourages" the nail to grow upwards rather than down at the sides.Notes.Procedures described is similar to what a doctor normally would use or suggest.A doctor would normally give a local anesthetic before performing this action. There are some local numbing cream available that could be used at most pharmacists or drugstores. Leave cream on to work for 10 min before doing anything. This will ease the pain a bit.Badly ingrown nails some times require part of the root to be removed. I do not suggest doing this yourself.I have used above-mentioned procedure on my painful toenail since I was 16. Now at the age of 40, I rarely have any problems, and if the toenails starts something I just follow this procedure and a week afterwards or so, all problems are gone again.Must admit that I have a high threshold for pain. lol
