If you want to cure your ingrown toenail problem for good, you should think about methods of prevention rather than simply just considering direct methods to cure your condition. Prevention is better than cure, and it is also relatively simple and st

First, you should make sure you keep your toenails clean. Keeping your toenails clean is important as it allows you to notice if you are developing any kinds of problems. If you feel you are at risk from developing an ingrown toenail, you should check your nails regularly, ensuring they are growing normally and are not starting to grow into the skin.

Make sure your shoes, socks and tights fit well and are not too tight putting pressure on your toenails. This is important in avoiding getting an ingrown toenail, but also important to cure your ingrown toenail, since you want to avoid pressure being applied to it which would make it worse.

You should always take good care of your nails, making sure you cut and file them well. Don't cut your nails too short and let the corners of the nails be visible just above the skin (rather than cutting them away). Additionally, you should never pull parts of your nails off as this can end in injury. If they become damaged, carefully cut away the piece of the nail that is hanging off.

It is important you know how to cure your ingrown toenail should you get one, but if you've had one before or if you just simply want to be careful to avoid ever getting one, these simple preventative measures will do you a world of good.
