I am having bad pain due to ingrown toenail.
I stay in Bangalore if anybody knows about which doctor to show please suggest.

Thank u so much, i was very afraid of surgery so have not gone to Dr still. If it not so painful than as well i go instead of suffering daily....

A girl I know had this problem, she went to her regular doctor who had directed her to another one; yes, it did require a minor surgery. If you are in pain, you probably should go to a doctor. It is not going to cure itself, you need help.

Oh my hubby had a toenail ingrown before because I accidentally ran on his toenail with a computer chair. It looks awful and painful. He can't even wear closed shoes at that time. He applied some ointment now it's back to normal.

If had that problem, never allow the toe nails to grown longer. Keep cutting the nails once in two days. Better consult a doctor and get treatment to avoid ingrown of toe nails.

I'm not quite sure what an ingrown toenail is. What causes it? Can wearing shoes that are too tight for a long time cause this?

You should seek your doctors advise regarding your ingrown toenail. If you continue to suffer the pain, it might get infected since there is an open wound. Surgery is not that painful though. There is anesthesia.

an ingrown toenail is when your nails grow under the skin. this causes pain and discomfort to a person. sometimes, it is quite severe that a minor surgery needs to be done to remove the nail from under the skin.
