A member asked:

My big toe has a lot of pain primarily underneath the nail, what could be wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bone spur: Pain under thenail can be due to mnay factors. One of the most common however, is a bone spur under the nail. An x ray can verify if such a spur is present. Pain could also be due to an ingron nail. This should be ecvaluated by a podiatrist.
