Epsom salt. Soak your feet in a solution of water and Epsom salt to treat the infection and relieve the pain.
Vicks VapoRub. Apply a small amount of this cream directly to the infected nail: it relieves pain and speeds the healing process.
Apple cider vinegar. Apply apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball to reduce the infection and treat the ingrown toenail.
To prevent this annoying condition, it’s advisable to trim your nails regularly, removing any sharp edges. Don’t cut them too short; it’s the pressure they exert on the skin that causes ingrown toenails.
