See below: You may have an infection and the edge of the nail should really be removed. See a podiatrist for help.

Ingrown nail: If it is not getting better it may need to be removed by a podiatrist. This usually involves numbing your toe and removing the corner of your nail to relieve the pressure and allow the infection to drain. You will usually need to take antibiotics for a short period as well.
