How to be relieved of pain with in-grown nails?
I have an in-grown nail on my toe and I don't know what to do. I'm aware that seeing a podiatrist(?) might help but I don't want my nail getting removed (yet) because I have a swimming class. They say upon recovery, the said nail isn't allowed to get wet. Are there any options for at least a temporary relief?

I've had ingrown nails for more than 15 years and complete nail removal was never on the table. Wedge resection is a much more easy procedure, which may not even require anesthesia. It will also heal much faster and will hardly interfere with your everyday life.

EDIT: this procedure is less invasive, but recurrence is quite common.
