Suggest Treatment For Infected Ingrown Toenail

Hello, so I have a really bad ingrown toenail , that was infected , and swollen causes my little toe beside it to run together in my work boots all day . Now the ingrown toe nail part is healed but lots of layers of skin around it have fallen off and I have blister looking things in between my toes . And being in my boots all day it makes it moist and kind of sticky , I was just wondering if it will heal on its own or if I need medical assistance
