title: How I Manage Ingrown Toenails.
abstract: In brief: An ingrown toenail is one of the most common diseases of the nail. Initial treatment includes trimming away the ingrown area and soaking the foot in Epsom salt, or a combination of Epsom salt and pHisoHex or Betadine. If inflammation, localized cellulitis, and pain do not resolve rapidly, chemocautery with phenol or a surgical partial matricectomy can be carried out.
