I have an ingrown nail....it hurts my mom doesnt want 2 take me 2 the doctor.....so wat should i do im in pain?

You should see a doctor. An ingrown nail can become infected and then you may need antibiotic to clear it up. A doctor can remove the edge of the nail so that it doesn't happen again.





I assume that it is a toenail but if it is a finger nail you can do the same thing. Soak it in salt water. Use 1 tablespoon of table salt for each 2 cups of warm water. Soak for 30 minutes, dry, then apply an antibiotic ointment and a band aid.





Good luck to you.
