Healing an Ingrown Toenail

If you develop an ingrown toenail you might try putting a drop of mineral oil or Atomidine available from the Heritage Store on the area once or twice a day.  Many times it will correct itself and grow out.  Much depends upon your nature and the extent of the condition.  You may have a few tender days as the nail moves out pressing against the skin.  I like the Atomidine because the iodine tends to numb the area plus prevent infections but the mineral oil also works.  Obviously, if this does not solve it seek medical attention.
