My brother used to get ingrown toe nails and went each time to a podiatrist. The podiatrist cut it out each time, and it was like getting very minor surgery on the toe.
When I started getting them, I would put on something called outgrow (i dont know if it’s still available) brand name: “Dr. Sole” that I picked up in the pharmacy that made the nail very soft and numbed the toe a little, and then pulled it out myself. I did that several times and even cut it out with any of the “outgrow”.
I definitely preferred cutting it out myself (even if it was a little painful sometimes) than to going to get it cut out from a podiatrist and having to wear a slipper on that foot for a day or two.
Nothing wrong with trying what others here said u can try yourself.
