Ingrown Toenail...?!
Question: I always have problems with ingrown toenails, and I always end up fixing them myself. Yesterday I did a "surgery" and pulled one out of my left foot. Today it is really tender and hurting. My toe is swollen as well. I plan on going see a Dr about it tomorrow. I know things like this can get really infected. Advil helped the pain, and Im keeping it clean with Peroxide and Neosporin. Will my big toe be okay til tomorrow? Or should I go ASAP and have it checked out?

As long as you keep the site clean and dry, it can wait until tomorrow. Do cleanse it prior to going to sleep tonight and dry it well.
I had the same thing but you shouldnt go to a general doctor for this you should go to podiatrist or a chiropodist who specialise in this
