"Symptoms of an ingrown nail include pain along the margins of the nail, caused by granulation that occurs around the aforementioned region, worsening of pain when wearing shoes or other tight articles, and sensitivity to pressure of any kind, even that of light bedding. By the very nature of the condition, ingrown nails become easily infected unless special care is taken to treat the condition early on and keep the area as clean as possible. Signs of infection include redness and swelling of the area around the nail, drainage of pus and/or a watery discharge tinged with blood. The main symptom is swelling at the base of the nail on whichever side the ingrowing nail is forming."

It hurts to have anything touch it... It starts off being red where the toenail is becoming ingrown, and doesn't really hurt to much so you brush it off. After awhile it becomes scabby like and extremly hurts with any touch on that toe that's when you know you have an ingrown toenail, and have to go to the doctor's so they can fix it...

at first u cant tell, eventualy, it starts to hurt, then next the whole toe starts to hurt. eventualy they skin will harden around the ingrown toenail, forming a cocoon, almost like a scab. if touched to hard, or the rong way, it may bleed.
