Some say the pain level of an ingrown toenail from 1 to 10 is a 15. Even maybe a 20 if it breaks through the skin.

Soften the Nail to Relieve the Pain

Ingrown toenail treatment starts by realizing how bad your situation is or how far the nail has grown into your skin. Ingrown toenail removal depends on this also.

Nail health starts with you knowing how to take care of your nails using the right tools.

In my many years of having ingrown toenails dating back to the 70″s, I’ve used many different ways to soften my nail and many products to help relieve the pain.

Some of the products worked very well back then to soften the nail however the smell of the product was very unpleasing.

One of the best products I used and sometimes still use is the DR Scholl’s Pain Reliever.(seen below)

In todays world there are new products which some say are life changing for them when used properly. Here on this page are some suggestions of these products.
