In brief:
Permanant correction
This is the start of ingrown toenails , that can be painful and get infected.
A minor procedure can be done in the podiatrists office that can permanantly correct this problem for you. It is called a partial matrixectomy . It is etter to be proactive and correct it before it gets infected and painful.

Trimming a digital nail straight is the reccomended method.
Sometimes, in an attempt to remove a painful and embedded margin of the nail, the adjacent soft tissue becomes infected - as seen in the photo....
Soak in epsom salt and clease the digit thoroughly....
Use an antibiotic cream and apply a dry bandage.
If the condition worsen, see a board certified podiatrist.....
