My boy got that when he was about the same age. The corner of one of his toes sort of went like a little blister that was yellowy...like it had a bit of puss under it. His big toe ended up going all red    I would pick at it and squeeze it to see if it was sore and if I could do anything about it myself. I asked the pharmasist when I was in there if there was anything they could recommend and he told me off for cutting his toe nail too short! I hadn't even cut the at that stage...they just grew like that! Boy was I annoyed with him.

Anyhoo....if it isn't bothering him, then just sort of massage the skin in warm soapy water (actually Im not sure it even has to be soapy), and it should come right...
If it is bothering him and making him upset, then take him to the docs.

It sounds a bit odd to me for a 14 week old to have an ingrown toenail. I thought they were caused by incorrectly cutting nails and pressure from ill fitting shoes. Neither of which a child of that age would have experienced. If you don't want to take him to the doctors take him to your local pharmacy and get the pharmacist to take a look at it.]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 18:58:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21980&PID=529282&title=ingrown-toe-nail#529282 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21980&PID=528309&title=ingrown-toe-nail#528309 Author: kebakat

Daniel got one. I didn't bother with the docs, I sterilised a needle and fished it out myself. It didn't seem to bother him, DH held him and distracted him with toys. But I was comfy with doing that, if you aren't you could ask a nurse to do it?]]> Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:23:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21980&PID=528309&title=ingrown-toe-nail#528309 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21980&PID=528299&title=ingrown-toe-nail#528299 Author: tropics
