I can tell you what not to do, and that is try to be your own doctor. I have 2 on my fingers now and one is very infected because I tried to remove it myself,didnt want to shell out the cash on a doctor. It is very very painful but is getting better. The advice I did get from a qualified medical doctor was this.... keep antibiotic ointment on it at all times in the beginning and put a bandaid around it, not tight, but to keep the moisure inside , it softens up the tissues and eventully the dead cells come off by theirself, and if you can get manicures regularly, then do because it makes a world of difference when your nail is properly cut and filed. If you cant get them, then learn how to cut and file the nail and the skin around it so it dosent start growing wrong again. And good luck to anyone who has one, its a B##CH. But don't , no matter what, try cutting, and pulling and thinking you can fix it that way, because you cant,
