Azithromycin is an antibiotic that can be used to treat bacterial infections, but it is not specifically indicated for treating ingrown toenails.

If there is an associated infection, a healthcare provider may prescribe antibiotics like azithromycin as part of the treatment plan, but it would not address the underlying issue of the ingrown nail itself.
