Antibiotic creams are used to treat and prevent the infection, including those associated with ingrown nails, caused by many different types of bacteria. Antibiotic cream can be used topically to heal the ingrown nail. An over-the-counter antibiotic ointment can be easily purchased at any pharmacy. This cream will help heal the infection and prevent infection, and should be applied on the symptomatic spot three times daily. After carefully applying the ointment on the toe or hand affected with the ingrown nail, carefully bandage the nail to isolate it from external contaminants, and allow it to begin the healing process as quickly and efficiently as possible.
