Ingrown toenail

2022-11-10 14:03:40
I have repeating ingrown toenail which is causing swelling and pain. Consulted doctor and taken prescribed antibiotics but it didn't help. Should i consult a dermatologist again or a general surgeon? Also is there any way to reduce the pain and swelling at home temporarily?
