How long does an ingrown toenail take to heal?

Q: I have an ingrown toenail and I will be having it removed on thursday. However, I remembered I have plans for saturday. How long will it take for my toe to heal?

A: I had one removed on my big toe and it took about a week or two to heal up. Make sure you soak in Epsom Salt/warm water twice a day to keep infection out and speed up the healing process. Also Vitamin C will strengthen your bodies natural immune system to help fight against infection and speed up the healing process. It won’t be healed by Saturday but you should still be able to go along with your plans as long as your plans don’t include jogging. Just keep it wrapped up or it will stick to your sock which sucks when you have to take your socks off.
