— Apple Cider Vinegar Wash

This is one of the most effective treatments for this problem. Add ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar to warm water and soak your feet in it. Moreover, you can apply this solution to the affected area. In this way, you will prevent bacterial infections, but it won’t fight an existing one.

— Wash with Castile Soap

You should wash the foot with soap and water two times a day. For best effects, choose Castile soap as it contains pure and natural ingredients. Also, keep your feet clean and dry.

— Dental Floss Under the Nail

If you place dental floss or cotton wisps under the affected toenail, you will shift it to grow in the proper direction. You should make an attempt to lift its corner that is digging into the skin.

Then, roll a small cotton piece or gauze between the fingers in order to make a wick or a small roll, and leave it between the skin and the nail.

In order to avoid a burning sensation, you should choose dental floss with no flavor. Then, use it to lift the nail long enough to make it grow out and away from the skin. Even though this may cause a discomfort, it is an effective way to solve the problem.

You can also try to push the roll father every time you soak your foot, on a daily basis. Moreover, replace the roll daily, and be patient to allow the nail to grow out, as it will need a couple of weeks. Sometimes, you may need to cut the nail a bit in order to push it underneath.
