Ingrown Toenails - Causes, Treatment, and Prevention

It is not recommended that treatment be done at home. Over-the-counter remedies can often mask symptoms, but they do not treat the underlying cause of the ingrown toenail. A medical professional may remove the section of the nail that is grown into the skin. If the problem reoccurs, a toenail avulsion may be performed. This is where the doctor cuts away sections of the nail and reshapes it. This is typically done under a local anesthetic. In severe reoccurring cases, the entire nail may be removed. This will usually have a 1 to 2-week recovery period.
