thanx for asking question.ingrown toe nail is actually a very painful condition.it occurs when nail spicule enters in lateral nail fold.definative treatment is surgical,where we remove lateral nail spicule from matrix and phenolisation of matrix,so that recurrence avoided.At present u take antiboitics and analgesics and go for surgery from a dermatologist.
