Podiatrist: I think the best course of action would be to see your primary care and/or a podiatrist. May need that nail removed, in whole or in part. Typically an office procedure with local anesthesia.

See a podiatrist. : Your ingrown toenail may be infected, may need a procedure, may just need antibiotics, or you may have developed a dark callus that needs to be trimmed. See your podiatrist for treatment options.
