Ingrown toenail ?


Question Posted Thursday July 19 2007, 4:01 pm

I don't know if that's what I have. I woke up today and I walked on my foot. It felt like I was stepping on a splinter or something like a needle. I thought it was an ingrown toenail. It kinda hurts under the toe, on the side. I know I may have trimmed my nails incorrectly but it grew out. It doesn't look like it's an ingrown.. like the pictures that I searched up. I have touched my toenail and it doesn't hurt. It's not red either. I have ran my fingernail across the back of my toe to see if I have stepped on something, but no pain. I showed my parent this and she doesn't think it's one either. :/ She has one before and i t doesn't look infected.
No, i didn't hit my foot either.
But once I walk on it, I feel this pressure on it.

I have wore high heels for the first time, about 2 weeks ago and kept wearing them the whole time. I took a break and yesterday, I wore them again. Could that be a problem?

If it is an ingrown toenail, how do you heal it? Without surgery.. because I don't want my parents to pay for something like that or anything.

Do I soak my feet and trim the point of the nail?

It seems to me that that is the problem. I soak my foot in water for a long time until the skin is soft around he nail. try to dig under it with a tweezer and then trim it straight across. Good luck I know how bad they hurt.
