Ingrown toenail is a common condition with many different treatment options. This review finds evidence that mild cases can be treated safely with non-surgical methods like change of ill-fitted shoes and nail brace. With failure in non-surgical treatment or in more severe cases surgical methods can be performed with note to the risk of complications - most frequently infection and the risk of recurrence at 3-13%. This review does not find evidence to use oral antibiotics in the treatment in general.
