Ingrown nail infection

Question

Asked for Female, 19 Years

It's been 3 months that the toe of my left leg got infected by ingrown nial infection. Initially there was swelling at the tip and pus started to release from the nail corner, after some days a small fleshy lump has developed there at nail corner. Condotion is much more better now. I got it treated but should i cut it surgically to completely cure as it wad advised by some experienced person. Is there any other option rather than cutting.
