READ FIRST: I'm just a guy who's had ingrown toenails and then stumbled on a way to manage them and I think (fingers crossed) put them behind me. One time I even had to go into a podiatrist and have an ingrown toenail surgically fixed. It was not pleasant. A buddy turned me onto this topical solution called Outgro (pictured to the right). It's cheap and it really works. Basically it numbs the area where your ingrown nail is digging into your sensitive skin, (so that's nice) for some quick pain relief. Secondly, when the skin is numbed up it's more manageable to get in there with the right (sterile) tools and fix the problem yourself. This Outgro stuff is cheap and works well, but for whatever reason isn't at most drug stores (at least where I live) so I order it online. It's surprisingly cheaper that way too.

Ingrown Toenail Cures

Ingrown toenail cures can be dived amongst the professional variety that includes ingrown toenail operations and the more do it yourself or ingrown toenail home remedies that are very popular for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the cost of professional ingrown toenail removal when it's performed by a doctor. This particular post will focus on the more common and less expensive idea of trying to solve low level issues that have not gotten out of control at home before bringing in additional costs and various other uncomfortable and inconveniences of having a professional work on your foot problems.
Unlike internal issues the solution to curing an ingrown toenail is often quite apparent and it's as simple as figuring out a way to keep the toenail from growing into the delicate skin around the corners of the toenail. For many people the main problem keeping them from simply correcting this issue on their own is the fact that the skin around the bothered area is simply too delicate to handle in an invasive fashion. Thanks to developments in modern medicine no longer does someone have to endure the cost and hassle of seeing a licensed professional to obtain the type of local pain killer that will safely and effectively numb the skin around the troubled area. For a quick fix it's highly recommended that anyone considering any number of home remedies first explore picking up a very inexpensive (less than $10) bottle of Outgro. For a full description of what makes this simple over the counter pain medication so effective and simple please read the previous post focused specifically on this particular topical solution titled: Outgro Ingrown Toenail.
