Remedies For Ingrown Nails
Soak In Warm Salt Water

Besides being used for flavoring our food, salt has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect when used topically. The salt has to be dissolved in warm water to make an effective soak for treating an ingrown nail. For the bath, use Epsom salt which can be purchased at most pharmacies. Mix one to two tablespoons of the salt into a quart of warm water. Soak in warm salt water for fifteen minutes for each session. When starting, you can soak your feet or hands several times during the day. Repeat these fifteen-minute soaks several times during the first few days. Dry the foot or hand thoroughly after the soak. This warm salt soak will remove the infection and swelling from the affected area. This will also pull out any pus that may have collected in the area.
