EPSOM SALT SOAKS MAY HELP MILD INGROWN TOENAILS

While an ingrown toenail may not sound like an emergency, it's important to have it looked at in the event that you notice any early signs or symptoms. "Many people believe that ingrown toenails simply cause discomfort. But they can be the cause of infections," New Jersey-based podiatrist Velimir Petkov, DPM tells Allure.

While it's best to leave treatment of an ingrown toenail to a healthcare provider, some milder cases may benefit from certain home remedies in the meantime, such as an Epsom salt foot bath. "This will soften your skin and reduce any inflammation," Dr. Petkov told Allure.
