Dude, go see a doctor. Ingrowns are very painful and if not treated quickly, can lead to some serious sh*t. Ingrowns happen for a variety for reasons (poor hygiene, no trimming, for one), but in your case, an accident which may damaged the nail and tissue.

Depending on how bad it is, you might need a little surgery. Your doctor will first numb your toe by using an anesthetic. Then he'll cut your toenail along the edge that is growing into the skin and pull out the piece of nail. Finally, he may apply a small electrical charge or a liquid solution to the exposed part of the nail bed. This keeps the toenail from growing into the skin again.

Whatever you do, don't try to do it yourself if it's extremely painful, because if it is, then it's already serious.

On another note, it's a good idea to wear socks or slippers around the house. If you're used to walking barefoot, well, it may be a bit odd at first, but you won't regret it:

Covering your feet increases your body temperature by about 4 degrees F. by default, hence your body doesn't need to produce as much heat to stay at the same temperature and can use those BTUs for other stuff.

Less chances of hurting yourself and stuff, can't remember the last time I stubbed my toe on something.

Less chances of getting dirt and crap (but you might find the occasional bit of lint) in your toenails.

Looks damn cool if you get the right mac-daddy slippers man, as soon as I get home I take off my shoes, put on the slippers, daaaammn!!

I was expecting ap0ck's story to have a surprise ending... "my father has no toenails, ... BECAUSE I ATE THEM ALL WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING!!!!!!" Or something like that.

.. one of my smaller toes has a split tonail. and one half is not really attached much to my toe, so when it gets long enough it grabs onto the sock and starts to mouve around... and its painfull as sh*t becuase its still rooted.. how do i fix it? i pull the half of it out.. about twice a year.. evrething else feels less less painfull after youve experianced this.
