An ingrown toenail doesn’t have to require a trip to the clinic, especially if caught early.

With warm baths, gentle lifting, and natural anti-inflammatories, most mild cases can be treated at home.

But remember:

Home care is only appropriate for the early stages.
Infection? Diabetes? No improvement? Consult a doctor.

Because your feet carry you through life – and they deserve gentle, yet intelligent care.

So take care of that toe now.
Wear loose-fitting shoes.
