Suggest Treatment For Infection In The Toe Nail
I have been having a minor issue with one of my toenails. I had cut my toenail (using the correct clippers, so there is no problem of infection) and I cut one of my pinky toenails too short. I had figured it would grow back, so I left it alone. This was several months ago, and there has been little success. Also, that nail has started to grow upwards.(towards the sky when I am standing) Is there anything I can do by myself to fix this problem, or will I have to go see a specialist?

Hello, the proper method of clipping a nail is to do it in a horizontal line, but often we tend to cut it more from the corners in an attempt to give them beautiful shape, which is wrong.
I would adv you to cut ur nails by the correct method as described, even then if the problem remains, you should consult a dermatologist for evaluation, and then the correction methods are minor surgical procedures.
I hope you will find the information useful
Thanks
