So awful, but I need any help I can get. I recently went to a kind of sketchy nail salon that only charged $20 for a mani pedi and I now have an ingrown toenail in my big toe. It isn't bad at all and doesn't really hurt, but there is a little pus. I have dug into the toe and I can kind of feel the little point but I don't want to clip it and make it worse. Please give any tips to fixing this at home, I really don't want to get the surgery 😫

I would go to a doctor too, they can remove it without it getting infected.

Go to a podiatrist, that's what I did. They did the surgery and the shots hurt like crap, but it really was worth it in the end.

I agree that seeing a podiatrist is an excellent idea. I'm so sorry!
