There are many over-the-counter products for treatment of ingrown toenails, some contain natural agents and others contain chemicals, or both. The best natural options for ingrown toenails contain tea tree oil, menthol, or other essential oils. What you can try at home for ingrown toenails: Fill a basin with 8 liters (2 gallons) hot water and several tablespoons epsom salt or sea salt, stir until it dissolves then soak your foot for 20 minutes, then rinse, dry, and apply clean socks. Repeat every day until the redness disappears.
Tea Tree Oil should be applied directly to the infected toenail, using a cotton wool ball, gauze or similar material. This should be done twice a day until the infection is cleared. The Tea Tree Oil can be diluted before use, using olive oil or another base oil. It can also be bought in a range of different concentrations or used undiluted. A higher concentration may be more effective, but it also increases the risk of skin irritation.
