Doctor can check: Mild cases of ingrown toenails can resolve without surgery. A doctor can examine an ingrown nail and talk about what should be done. In mild cases, the sharp piece of the nail may be encouraged to grow over the skin or next to the skin, instead of into the skin. After a couple of weeks, that corner of the toenail might be ok. If the problem is paronychia, the doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics.

Is the nail ingrown : I agree wwhat has been said but I am not sure the pt could have a different problem. As part of the differential diagnosis you have to consider a sub ungual lesion. With The lack of trauma history and location.
