Tricks
The following procedure will help you relieve ingrown toenail pain:
- Soak your feet in warm water for about 15-20 minutes. Add 1 tbsp salt to 1 liter of water.
- Place clean dental floss under the edge of your nail, and lift it up gently.
- Treat the area with antiseptic, and bandage your toe to protect it from getting infected.
- Repeat this process daily until your toe is fully healed.
If these procedures are not making your toenail any better and you see some signs of infection, you should see a doctor immediately.
Soak your feet in warm water
To make your feet look gorgeous and your heels feel baby soft, you should soak your feet in warm water for about 15-20 minutes once a week. You can use a variety of ingredients to re-energize your feet such as salt, essential oils, or herbal infusions.
Use a foot scrub or pumice stone to remove dry and dead skin from your feet afterward.
Moisturize your feet
It’s best to use creams that contain emollients, such as dimethicone, lanolin, and Vaseline, as well as moisturizing ingredients, such as glycerin and lecithin. Just remember to never moisturize the area between toes as it can cause fungus.
Massage your feet
Foot massage is the best remedy to get rid of fatigue, improve blood circulation, and keep your feet healthy. You can buy a special massager, or simply place an ordinary tennis ball or any other round object under your foot and start rolling it back and forth from your toes to your heel.
