you have to cut into the side of toe nail then let it grow long then cut it straight across. poor hydrogen peroxide after cutting the best stuff and cheap in 99 cent store. it does"nt leave scaring either I put it in my first aid kit with Neosporin for not so big cuts.

Once ingrown, It is not possible to cut the nail properly yourself.

You need to see a podiatrist, who generally perform the procedure with use of a local anesthetic.
