I get these all of the time.  I usually go to have a spa pedicure (around $15) and have them dig it out.  They soak your feet and have a solution they apply to make your nails softer.  It is less painful than trying to remove it yourself.  Tell the pedicurist at the start where it hurts so she/he soaks your toe long enough and trims back the accumulated skin away from the area.  Sometimes you build up thick, callous like skin which forces the nail to grow inward.  This usually occurs from wearing closed shoes a lot, ones with pointy toes especially. \n\nDon't wait too long, OUCH, they only get worse as the nail continues to grow.  Good luck, I know how painful it is.

It sounds like you have a fungal and bacterial infection.  If the results are back, I would suggest you take your results and go to a doctor.  Although you gave a lot of information, I'm not sure where these infections are.  I think maybe because you had your hands cut with the glass, it might be in your blood?

My husband had this procedure done but they used the chemical right after they removed it.  They didn't guarantee it would work as it's difficult to get into the correct area.  They just swabbed it on and into the abscess left by the toenail.  It appears that the nail is growing back now, 6 months later.  They did tell us that just because it became ingrown before does not mean that it won't grow back correctly.  I understand you wanting to avoid the pain though, as my husband suffered for a long time before having it removed.  He was pleasantly surprised at how little the procedure bothered him in the end.  \n\nI'm sorry that I can't help with the specific information you requested but possibly I helped a little.  I would recommend you call the office to inquire about it. I think a nurse could provide you with the answers you are seeking.\n\nGood luck!

I've heard a few things about that:\n1. could be an injury; did you injure/bump it in some way? Is this ongoing. If you stop picking at it, will it go away?\n2. Vitamin deficiencies. Are you low on iron or other vitamins. Go to your yearly physicals to rule those things out and always take at LEAST  a multivitamin daily. B complex vitamins (mainly biotin) are for hair/skin/nails. Get a bottle!\n3. Are they moisturized? Get some nail cuticle oil. No you don't need to spend a lot of money, but you can try rubbing jojoba oil into your cuticles and nail area every day. \n4. A disease, have you ruled that out? Thyroid disease; I've noticed others with thyroid problems describe this. Diabetes, maybe, too. Like I said before get your regular yearly check ups and if you suspect thyroid or diabetes, get checked for those, too. \n\nGood luck!

YES!!!  You never know what was on that nail...and it isn't worth risking.  It's a quick needle and it's over with...better than losing your foot!

If you did this yesterday the bleeding under the nail has stopped by now. (unless you are on blood thinners for some reason in which case you need to go to the ER). The nail will continue to get darker and so may the toe. It will be no different than anyother bruise and it will change colors as it resolves. Yes your nail will probably fall off.\nPutting a hole in the nail at this time probably won't do anything. You need to do that while it is still actively bleeding or just after. It is to release the blood collection thereby  releasing the pressure. But since it happened yesterday the blood is already coagulated so it will not come out it just has to be reabsorbed.\nPersonally I would soak the foot a couple times a day for 20 minutes or so in warm water or use a heating pad a couple times a day. The heat will increase the circulation  in the area and help to breakdown the collection of blood. Don't soak your feet longer than this though because you can do damage to the skin and cause other problems for yourself.\nWhen the nail falls off, you  won't need to do anything. The nail bed underneath will already be hardened because of the separation of the nail bed and nail so it shouldn't be painful either. Do keep the nail trimmed as it starts to loosen so it doesn't catch on shoes or socks or even towels. If you catch the end of the nail and pull it off before it is ready it will hurt when it happens and will continue to hurt for a while after.\nHope this helps\nK

Nail polish and stop stressing!!! ALWAYS have a nail file with you so if you get a jagged edge, your not tempted to "nibble" it smooth.

Well, it's time to let a doctor look at it. You may not have spotted an ingrown nail, maybe it is very much embedded in and you can't see it or there is something else embedded. Regardless of what it is , it sounds like it has an infection in it and those are nothing to mess with, those types of infections have a bad tendancy to spread through other parts of your body and then you have a serious problem on your hands.

I stood very stiff and giggled my head off because I had NO idea what to do - and neither did my partner!!!\nWe bumbled through it and I left with only one broken toenail!!

Sorry I'm not a doc but I had an ingrown toenail when I was pregnant. I couldn't reach my toe very well and it was too sore to let anyone else touch. When I asked a doctor about it she was going to charge $80 to trim it (no way) but she gave me tips on how to trim it so that the nail would grow out (didn't work). Finally, after about 6 months of messing around with it the offending spur of nail got soft (yes it was infected) and came off. So, unless you have an angry red area that is shooting up your toe (serious infection) you probably are not at risk for gangrene. Yes I am a tightwad, and stubborn, and I should have gotten it taken care of sooner. But I lived though the whole thing and I still have my toe (which is starting to get sore again).

Not only is this NOT odd, but you have discovered the newest "hot" craft project. No one has been able to collect enough toe nail clippings to get it off the ground. They wanted it in the stores by Christmas, but it is too late now.\n\nThe craft set comes with a small round table that you paint. The table is about the size of a small end table in your living room. After the paint dries, you arrange the nail clippings on the table and then hot glue them in place. \n\nThe problem is you can only use toe nail clippings because they are stronger than finger nail clippings. They hadn't figured that out and that is why it did not come out this year.\n\nI will get back to you with the email address and you can work directly with the company as far as the actual sale of your nails for the tables. \nOH !! Darn it ! I can't do that because it would classified as "chatting" and that is against the guidelines. I'll have to think about how to do it. OR you could just take the idea and run with it now that you know what it is.......Good Luck to you................

It sounds like you have an ingrown toenail and the only cure for that is to have it removed.  I don't know what color it is, but if it has gotten thick and yellow, then you probably also have a fungus infection in the nail.  If the nail is gray and the toe around it is bright honking red, then there is a chance that you have a staph infection.  Either way, a trip to the doctor is in order, unless you can pull it out yourself and have access to antibiotics.  Good luck.

this is called a "subungal hematoma" simply meaning a blood colleciton under the nail.\n\nwhen they first occur there is some infection risk but very low. the risk comes from the ruptured nail bed itself but the nail is a barrier to germs.\n\nIt takes the average adult large toenail 13 monhts to gro out from base to tip.\n\ngive it time.\n\nI wouldnt waste your time or money going to the doctor. when they first happen and hurt we can drain them, but if there is no pain there is no indication for that and it should be left alone.\n\nIf you've looked this up on the internet and read about melanoma under the nail , splinter hemorrhages, nail psoriasis and other things that can mimic this...relax. you're fine. You do not have anything threatening.\n\nTake care and choose your dance partner more wisely next time!
