If its red, and is getting pus build up you need to get to your doctor for antibiotics, and perhaps the doctor can shape it up properly...
Ive had them in the past, its no big deal, clean the infection up and the toe nail grows back, just be more careful when trimming them!
Good luck! ;-)

Although the best course is to see a doctor, what you might try is to trim the nail close to the front of your toe, and then cut or file a V in the middle. This will cause the nail to grow in toward the center. If it isn't too bad, it might work, if not then you should see a doctor.
