Visit a foot doctor (podiatrist). Ingrown toenails that become infected should not be treated at home, which is true for most infected wounds. Visit a podiatrist, more commonly known as a foot doctor, to get treatment for your infection. If the infection and nail are bad enough, minor surgery may be required.
If your toenail is falling off and you are uncomfortable with self treatment, you should try to bandage the nail to the nail bed and see a doctor as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may attempt to remove the loose portion, using a nail clipper to prevent accidental tear from the nail bed. Completely dry your feet after they have come into contact with water. 2  At the first sign of breakage, bandage your toe or seek medical attention. 3  Never rip or tear at a nail that has partially torn. 4  If your toenail is partially detached, hold down the remaining nail with a loose bandage.
