[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 619522, member: 32108"] Hi imperial, Get your GP to look at it, and/or book an appointment with a podiatrist. First time I had trouble with an ingrowing toenail, I'm afraid I tried to ignore it thinking it would resolve itself, and, in my case, it didn't, and I ended up in a great deal of pain and needed antibiotics to clear up a nasty infection before referral to a podiatrist. Thereafter, I had to have regular appointments to keep an eye on both of my big toes. What happened in my case was that my nails gradually grew in too curved a shape which meant that ingrowing kept and would keep recurring. In the end, therefore, I had them removed and didn't regret it at all, and my feet feel as free as two birds now, much happier. You may well find that your toenail settles down and can be managed perfectly well, but definitely get it looked at. [/QUOTE]
