Ingrown toenail
Hi, I have ingrown toenail on both the feet and I am 8 months pregnant. Should I visit any dermatologist? Is there any matter of concern as I am pregnant and don't want to harm the baby by taking unnecessary medications at this time. Please suggest.

If there is swelling and pain the it is a cause of concern and u will need medical intervention. Nail removal in severe cases can b considered post delivery. If asymptomatic then wait it out .
