Hey I have an ingrown toenail, and I was wondering if it will heal by itself. I've had one before and I just left it alone, and after a few days it just stopped hurting like it healed itself. I don't want to go to the doctor because just imagining them cutting my toe open gives me the chills. Plus I don't have the money. It doesn't really hurt that much. I keep my toenails clipped pretty good, even the ingrown toenail, except for the side were it's ingrown. So I was wondering if I keep my toenails clipped good, and just leave it alone, will it heal by itself?
