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.
The big toe on my right foot was very sore, red and infected due to an ingrown toenail. Puss would come out between the toenail and flesh of the toe. I had a lot of pain just walking on it. I started putting a drop of lavender oil on the toenail so it could soak into the infected area. I did this in the morning and at night before bed. Within a few days the infection and soreness went away. I was then able to work with a fingernail file to get it under the toenail and lift it up which allowed me to trim off the ingrown part. Problem solved, no more ingrown toenail or infection. These oils are a wonder help.
