Ingrown nails: Sounds as if you have an issue with an ingrown nail. Time to head off to see your clinician before it worsens.

? Had Manicure: May have picked up infection after a manicre. Need to have it cultured then antibiotics based on the culture and sensitivity as it could be a resistant bacteria.

Paronychia: You may have missed some nail in the corner. Ingrown toenails can be temporarily remedied through soaking your foot in warm water, removal of embedded debris from the nail borders, and applying an antibiotic ointment to temporarily soften the corners. If you have redness and drainage, see a professional as you may need to have the ingrown nail border removed and you may need antibiotic.
