It is called an ingrown toe nail. See your doctor or podiatrist.

You have ingrown toenails. You don't necessarily have to go to a foot doctor. I have had these in the past and this is how I've dealt with it: use nail clippers and get as much of the toenail out of the corners of your toes where they are ingrown as possible. This should immediately relieve a lot of the pain. Then, when the nail starts to grow back, put cotton gauze or pieces of cotton ball in the corners of the toe, under your nail, to prevent them from growing back into the corners. Change this daily. If that doesn't help and the toenail continues to grow back into the corner, see a podiatrist.

Its an ingrown toenail, which is usually caused by cutting the nail too short and the skin growing over the regrowing toenail. Talk to your doctor. Sometimes, depending on the severity of it, the have to be removed. Also, what I personally was told to do was cut away from that perticular corner, so you can allow the nail to grow back to where it is supposed to be. I'd definately talk to your doctor soon, though, to prevent further discomfort to your feet. And BE CAREFUL NOT to stub your toes....it makes for excruciating pain, and can cause infection and further damage to your toes and toenails...I feel for you on this one...Good luck!

That sounds like an ingrown toenail. That can be very painful. You can go to a foot doctor ( podiatrist) or to any general doctor. They know how to fix it and can tell you how to prevent it in the future.

It sounds like you have in-grown toenails. They can indeed be painful. You need to see a podiatrist. I am sure he/she can fix you right up.
