My right big toenail is all yellow and long and jagged and gives off a foul stinky odor. Whenever I walk, a black secretion comes out the crack on the side where it meets the flesh. Is this normal or should I seek medical help?

I am a nurse for a podiatrist and that is not normal. It could be an ingrown or infected toenail. And it sounds as if the nail itself is fungal. There are several treatment options. But you need to go see a podiatrist soon.

You need to seek medical help. Most likely you have an ingrown toenail or an infection. You may even have both.

You need to see a foot doctor, its most likely a ingrown toenail, they can remove it and help you learn how to cut your toenails correctly, I have had them in each big toe, and had it removed, it kinda hurts the shots but in a few days it is well worth it, you will feel much better! Good Luck!!
