Answer 1

it herts a lot when i do tho

o well

you win some you lose some

Answer 2

Even though it does not hurt right now it is setting up to become infected.  It needs to be rectified.  

Answer 3

See a doctor immediately! Don't ignore it or it may get infected. I had an ingrown toenail too, but on both big toes. The dumb thing was that I ignored it for 8 months!  My toes swelled up and puss started coming out of them (ew).

You will have to get surgery if it goes any deeper, but don't worry about it, you won't feel a thing, only the two/three (depends) shots they'll have to put in it to numb the toe.

Trust me you'll be glad you got it fixed!

Answer 4

I had an ingrown toenail and i let it go, and it got infected and hurt like mad. I had to go on antibiotics. after the antbiotics the problem went away. if it doesn't hurt i would leave it cause the doctor won't be able to do anything unless its infected.

Answer 5

puss might grow in after a while. i suggest u grab some rubbing alcohol or peroxide and try to see if that helps. or consult ur doctor.
