What my podiatrist used to tell me to do is use hydrogen peroxide, and then.. This is going to hurt like HADES. Take a tooth pick and stick a teeny wad of cotton under the nail. It hurt for a couple of days, while I was training the nail.. but pretty much I haven't gotten another ingrown toenail since. Also Try not cutting so close to the skin when you trim your nails. Also if it's caused by nails cracking, try taking B vitamins and use an orange stick on your cuticles after you take a bath.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 One of my mothers remedies was: use a bread poultice - take any bread & soak in very warm - to hot water - as hot as you can tolerate for a minute & the put on affected area - when nail is soft - take you nail clippers & make a V in the middle of the nail - it relieves the pressure & the nail grows in a different way - not out - but in my brother had bad ingrown nails for a # of years still does this - Lesley (AZ) spottedleaf_cat <spottedleaf_cat Thu, 10 Apr 2008 4:51 pm ingrown toenail hey I have a question for everyone...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I have heard that soaking the foot in a basin of water with liquid dishsoap helps...do this 3-4 times per day...at least that was recommended when I had a foster child that had an ingrown toenail, but refused to get it cut out but also refused to soak her foot as well.....

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009  The wife of a podiatrist told me to do this: Take a toothpick and gently shove as much cotton under the ingrown part of nail as you can. It will be very sore, but you only have to do this once. Then trim the nail in an inverted V shape. The edges are long, the middle is shorter. This will relieve pressure and help the nail to spread. Lastly, never cut the edges short. Let the be long enough to discourage the nail from growing in.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Soak feet until nail is bit soft, gently lift ingrown nail and put rolled up cotton. Leave there and change after every shower. This will teach the nail to grow outward. Melly herbal remedies , Shelli <merkel88 wrote: > > Can someone suggest something for an ingrown toenail?

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 This is horribly painful, but I just slide my finger nail underneath it and pull it up. Then I spray with colloidal silver. The pain is usually lessened greatly within a day and gone within 2. Then I'm VERY careful how I trim my toenails. Soaking in epsom salts or healing clay might help before doing this.
