Question: Are ingrowing toenails dangerous.? What can it lead to.? Just curious....?
Answers:
Not dangerous, just painful. You must be cutting your nails improperly. They should be cut straight across and any jaggedness, file them. They have clippers that look like a small scissor with a very sharp point. It allows you to get under that ingrown nail and cut some of it off. Then you need to put some antibiotic cream on it. Before you try any cutting, soak the foot in warm soapy water to soften the nail. In a couple of days, try cutting some more. You may have to have someone help you with the small scissors. Wishing you the best young lady, hope you succeed in getting it cut away. Good luck.Health Question & Answer

infections and very stinky around the ingrown area...

the best treatment is to stick some cotton or sterile bits of thread under the nail so when it grows, it grows upward, not into the toe skin.
make sure u remove, clean and repeat the process everyday, if not more often then that... hope this helped pick mine!Health Question & Answer
