A member asked:

The corner of my right big toe is sore to touch and so is the nail but not all of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ingrown nail?: Is the nail growing into the skin? If it is mild you can just cut the nail out of the skin, it will hurt a bit but better than letting it get worse or infected.
