You : You probably have an infected ingrown toenail. You'll need the little piece of nail that's stuck in your skin removed and go on antibiotics for a week or so. The procedure to remove the piece of nail is quick, easy, simple and painless, and there is no pain afterward. The longer you take to go and get this fixed, the longer you'll be in pain. Do yourself a favor and visit your friendly podiatrist.
