I had a nasty one that a podiatrist treated me for right in his office.
I know how painful they are and you should let a doctor do it...he shot me up and my foot was numb and I didn't feel a thing- I watched him do the whole thing and I couldn't even imagine how it would have felt if it wasn't numb.

Unless you're diabetic, I would save my money and go to my family doctor. He or she is fully qualified to treat an ingrown toenail, and you won't have to pay as much as you would for a specialist.
If you are diabetic, though, it's very important to see a PODIATRIST for this (not a chiropodist). A podiatrist has hospital privileges for surgery; a chiropodist, like a chiropractor, can only treat people in his office. Diabetics have a lot of circulatory problems, and must be careful with their feet. gigi

If you have ingrown toenails it would be better to let a chiropidist treat them. If you try it yourself you could cause an infection resulting in the loss of the nail.

dont try to remove it yourself.. your best bet is to go to a foot doctor and have them remove it.
