Are you a : Diabetic or have some immune problem or poor circulation in your feet? If any of the above is true, then I am worried that you may have a joint or bone infection that is causing persistent swelling and pain. Please go straight to a healthcare provider for diagnostic work up and proper treatment. Please do it now!

One mean Ingrown.: At your age, more than likely you have a heavily infected ingrown toenail. The best thing to do is see a specialist who treats this problem on a routine basis. Prolonging medical treatment can lead to some serious complications, including a bone infection. An experienced foot specialist would be my recommendation at this point.
