Ingrown Toenails???????

Ok, I have an ingrown toenail on my right big toe and one maybe starting to form on my left one. I have had them before and they keep coming back. I think the one on my right foot might be becoming infected. I am on anti- infection medicine right now for a sinus infection and I was wondering if that would help cure the infection in my toe if it is infected also, does soaking your feet in sea salt do the same as soaking them in epsom salt?????

    Go to the Dr. get it removed, If there is an infection, the Dr. will let you know if the antibiotic you have will work or not, also they can do laser surgery on the nail to prevent the ingrown nail to ever come back, it is great I had the surgery several years ago, and the ingrown nail has never come back.

    When i had one i soaked it in epsom salt and it helped a lot.. but if you keep getting them then you should go see a doctor or they are just gonna keep coming back.. and once they get infected its not pretty.. and hurts really bad to get them fixed
