Ingrown nails: Ingrown nails are something we see alot of. There are multiple causes, toe spur, fungal nails, curved nail...Etc. There concern is infection....If the bone under the nail gets infected, there is a big problem ( osteomyelitis) if the bone is not infected, numbing the toe and removing the offending piece of nail . Is the best option. See a specialist, and let him take a look, and an x-ray.
