I think i have an Ingrown Toenail?

im not quite sure but i think i have and ingrown toenail, my big toe has swelled a little but not all that much, there is some translucent hard substance on the right side of it (its my right toe) but in the gap between the toenail and the skin sometimes it hurts if i pick it off sometimes it doesnt.about every 5 minutes i will have a short pain and then its okay for a bit and sometimes its a big pain of like 10m and hurts so much and every so often the top bleeds from gym class. If this is an ingrown toenail it would be great if you will let me know, if it is what should i do and if not what should i do?I think i have an Ingrown Toenail?
wow people are mean... anyways start by cutting the nail straight across to allow the corners to protrude, so that they do not penetrate the skin. Cut the toe nails straight across without tapering the corners dont wear socks or shoes that are to tight! and to pervent it keep your feet clean hope it helps :DI think i have an Ingrown Toenail?
doesnt sound like an ingrown...but if it is you sud get a pedicure and they will cut the nail the right way for you and it will relieve a lot of pressure..





if it is not then go to the doctor because it sounds more like an infection because of the long pains you get and the translucent substance.
