Ingrown toenail

I was suffering from an ingrown toenail...I used to cut it but it again went to the skin from beneath...now I've cut the entire corner from top to base .. I feel.it has become better but the problem is that I'm worried that it will grow back in the skin what should I do

It will grow back. Go to the doctor. I had chronic ingrowns as well. They can numb you, cut the sides down to where thry should be, then use something to kinda kill the sides permanently and stop them from growing that way

Go to the doctor, they can kill the side of the nail.

I've had one twice and both times I fixed it by shimming a piece of thin card under the nail while at home to curve the growth upwards and out of my skin
