How do I fix an ingrown toe nail?

My toe nail grows weird.

Answer #1

You can go in there with really sharp small scissors, and try and get it out yourself… but the last time I had one, I had to go to the ER and they took care of it (and trust me, you do not wanna hear that story)

Answer #2

My grandmother taught me to cut a V shape in the centre at the end of the nail and it will grow towards the V and relieve the pressure.

Answer #3

clip it but but not too close to skin

Answer #4

Ohhh, i got the same problem…best is to go to the ER, becouse when i did it by myslef my finger got infected:( And when you cut it the next time don’t do this close to the base of the nail, better leave it a bit bigger.
