Answer #1

Go to a salon they might be able to do it. or just suck it up and go to a doctor

Answer #2

I know you said you weren’t going to doctor but I had an ingrown toenail too and I went to doctor and they cut the sides but they give you a shot so you don’t feel but it doesnt hurt that much. Hope this helps. Good Luck

Answer #3

Well, if you insist you’re not going to a doctor, then you’ll have to do it yourself.

Soak your foot in warm water to soften the toenails. Dry the foot, and using the tip of a nail file (or something even finer, if you have it available), gently pry out the corner of the toenail - it will probably be tender. Using a pair of nail scissors, clip the corner of the nail to round it out.

You’ll have to tend to the toenail every day like this, pulling it up until it’s grown past the area of the toe in which it originally lodged itself.

Be careful how short you cut your toenails.
