MINOR Ingrown toenail?

So I have had this ingrown toenail for about 9 days and I went to the doctors last week and she took a look at it and she said just soak your feet for 15 minutes twice a day and if it hurts so much that you cant walk go to a podiatrist. I didn't really do the soaking this week but i did make sure that it was infection clean and that I was keep my toe clean. I started today soaking my feet. if I keep soaking my feet like the doctor told me will the ingrown toenail go away? And there is a little blister at the top of the toe because I think I got it from tight shoes that I have been wearing the past week and that the friction has caused my ingrown toe nail. My toe isnt red either. Anything will help thanks.
