go to the pharmacy and ask them to recommend something for ingrowns. They'll give you some anti septic cream or some kind of antibacterial to clean it with. There's no panic over it - they eventually grow out. Painful, but it'll pass.
 
Do I have an ingrown toenail? My toe is extremely sensitive (I can't wear shoes or anything). And a few minutes ago I was looking at, I barely pressed down on it and it popped full of pus. Should I go to the hospital?

Am I going to lose my whole toenail? Like it's never going to grow back or what? Also I don't have a regular doctor to make an appointment with. By the time I could get one, I'd be in a lot of pain anf have a lot of infection.
 
yes you most definitly have and ingrown toe nail,,, by brother had 1 they are serisouly painful !!! sort it out
 
U had an infection due to your ingrown toe nails. Squeez out the pus carefully then wash it clean and apply some antiseptic cream. It takes a few days to heal.
 
I would say ingrown toenail. Just cut it out and you will be fine. If you go to the doctor they will just charge you to cut it out the same as you could do at home.
 
Yes it is an ingrown toenail - hurts pretty darn bad, I've had two. Don't go to the ER it's not an emergency, call your doc and make an apt. they will set up a consult and you will have to have it removed, since its that bad. They will numb your toe with a couple different shots and just go in and cut it out, it'll take about 2 wks to be back to normal and it won't grow back.

If you cut it out yourself - 1 it hurts worse, and 2 it comes back in a few months, b/c the Dr. can get down to the roots of your toenail where it is growing wrong - you can not.
