Some how the nail on my left pinky toe got ripped is there anything i can do to keep it from ingrowing?

if it wasn't ripped off completely, you can use super glue to hold it together until it grows out enough to clip off





if it did rip completely off, file the edges of it as it is growing back in to prevent ingrown nailsSome how the nail on my left pinky toe got ripped is there anything i can do to keep it from ingrowing?

I had about the same thing happen as and it came back ok ... I'd suggest wearing loose fitting shoes.
cut the edges of the remaining nail so that there are no jagged edges, make sure everything is cut evenly! then, clean it rubbing alcohol or peroxcide. then, put neosporin on it. after you have done all of this, place a bandage on it. clean it and change the bandage daily.





if you do see signs of it becomming ingrown, or see signs of it becomming infected, consult a pediatrist right away.





good luck!
Just keep an eye on it. Keep it clean.
oh i do this all the time especially in the summer cuz im always playing soccer barefott.... but yeah it never did anytihing
I've had them ripped and ripped off completely. They grow back, nothing special needed. They do tend to look or feel that they will ingrow, but mine never did.
See a podiatrist he may be able to treat it so that it won't be a problem.
Keep it clean -- hydrogen peroxide, iodine, +bandaid. Your major problem is to prevent a fungus. Pinkie toes don't ';ingrow.';
ooch! The best thing you could do is trim it up and make sure there is not a piece of nail in your cuticle
JUST KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND KEEP IT CLEAN. WHEN YOU TRIM IT, TRIM STRAIGHT ACROSS, NOT ANGLED. YOU CAN SMOOTH THE ROUGH EDGE WITH A FILE OR EMBROIDERY BOARD(SOFT BROWN FILE -SOMETIMES PINK)
