You must be a tough cookie, they can really be bothersome.

I've had those, but luckily not for several years now. So much pain! Even a bed sheet hurt like hell...hope you get relief soon!

That is a later border IGT (R) great toe..

The flesh that is inflammed on the lateral border is called "proud flesh" it becomes infected because there is a nail under causing the inflammation.

It doesnt look like you removed it completly. I have literally removed hundreds of these..

You need to have a local anesthesia and remove the remaining part of the nail or you will not resolve..

A BSAB (Broad Spectrum Anti-Biotic) for staphalcocus organisms like keflex would be appropriate for about 1 week.

There are a few ingrown toenail surgeries on here. In one, they stuck a long thin thing down the infected side of the toe. Very interesting.

Guys - take care of your feet! We women go to a lot of trouble to be nice and soft all over for you. It feels nasty against our skin, barring your medical issues.

I took a picture of mine right before they removed it. I was really pissed at myself for not filming it I should post it, although it's not nearly as nasty as this one, since it's not an oozing picture
