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.

Dr. Fayaz to the rescue

im always walking around in my socks.. but im CONSTANTLY stubbin my toes.. infact after posting this i went down the stairs and hit my toe on the corner of the stair ¬_¬

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.
