Is it safe to pop a blister on an ingrown toenail?

i have an ingrown toenail that is incredibly sensitive and i think the cause is a little red/white bump that is protruding from it. it looks like it is a blister of some sort, and i am wondering if it is safe to pop it to help it maybe not hurt as much?Is it safe to pop a blister on an ingrown toenail?
Ive had that as well and yes you can pop it. In fact i recommend it. It will be painful, but with an ingrown toenail im sure you are having pain anyway. If the ingrown is bad enough you need to see a podiatrist or dermatologist. I thought i could fix my own but ended up having to have surgery on both toes. Haven't had any problems since. Surgery wasnt too bad at all. Just a little numbing, and he cut it out.Is it safe to pop a blister on an ingrown toenail?
had blister on toe...by the time the doc popped it....the skin died and it didn't even hurt when he cut the skin away
you should go to a doctor just to see what is wrong with your foot.
