Medical treatments
Medical treatment involves a visit to a hospital or doctor. Some of these treatments are:
Removal of the nail
If you still experience pain or swelling up of your feet, then your doctor might advise to either remove the nail – partially or entirely. This removal of the nail is based on the nature of the ingrown toenail. If it has become worse, then total removal of the nail is advisable. Although this process is painful and might sometimes cause infection, it is the last resort solution when all the other has been applied. [8]
