right my big toe is incredibly painful..

there is no easy way to describe this so ill do it with pictures aswell as writting

last year at christmas i had somthing heavy dropped on my big toe.. and it went all black as it does..

it stayed like that for a while.. then i noticed the blackness growing out..

then a 2-3 months ago i dropped somthing heavy on the same toe and it cracked.. but not fully

and then while walking around the house barefoot i stubbed my toe and it fully snapped off (the nail not the toe)

so as the nail has been growing back.. its gone.. kinda wrong

the right side of the nail has been growing down.. and in the process cutting my toe



the toe is really sore

so i got some scissors and pushed back the side skin and dug right down to the bottom.. which was to say the least inredibly painfull



i did it to see if i could sorta lever it out and cut it.. but what actually happend was..



i hit a little pocket of puss and also the nail is way to thick to cut it easily

if i try lever it out any more than i have to be able to cut it this will happen





what should i do?  :(

Well obviously it was infected considering you hit a packet a puss!  I suggest you squeeze out all the puss until  blood starts flowing heavily! You also saved a trip to the hosiptal because they would've done the same procedure!  You need to cut around the nail that is growing down into your skin! You might have to get some tweasers and actually lift it up and cut it out! Painfull none the less! I also suggest picking up some bacterial ointment and putting it on the affect area!  Moist hot areas is great place for bacteria to grow!

You have an in-grown toe nail. I had the same thing on both of my big toes, and had to have them corrected by a doctor. They actually cut down either side of my big toe nail and killed the root, now only a small piece of toe nail is on both of my big toes.

What you should do is see a dang doctor if you can. If not... try to get some cuticle scissors, or some other pair of nail scissors with fine/small blade and cut the nail yourself.

Yes, you should definately go to a doctor... especialy since you said you have been having problems with your toe for quite some time. You want to get to a doctor before the infection gets really bad. It could lead to some serious issues if you don't take care of it soon.

The procedure isn't a big deal, and doesn't really hurt. They give you a couple shots in your toe to numb it and then just cut down the nail to the root, after which the doctor puts some sort of acidic solution on the root of the toe nail and it never grows back from where they cut out.

I can post pics of my toes if you are really interested

You will most likely still have a toe nail... it just wont be as big.
