honestly what i do is a epsom salt soak to soften the skin, then i clip the nail from the non ingrown side pretty much up until right before where it starts in the nail bed, and use tweezers to rip out the top of it. so at least the top isn’t digging in trying to walk. but if u do that u have to lay low for a day or two, bc if ur sweating itll get infected and gross

but honestly, the two worst ones i had, i got em removed professionally and they killed the nerves w some sort of acid so it doesn’t grow back. u dont even have to go to a podiatrist, just call wtv urgent care is in network if u have insurance and they can do it there on a walk in. the worst part of it is honestly the numbing shot, after that u dont feel a thing.
