I was pulling on the corner of my big toenail and a lot of it was coming away from the nailbed - turning white. I kept pulling and the nail suddenly tore around two thirds of the way down. I panicked and cut up from here to the top, cutting a chunk out of my nail. I am worried that, as I have now cut the corner of my nail very far down the nailbed, that I will get an ingrown toenail - potentially quite a bad one as it is very far down. How likely is this and what can I do to prevent it - I will not be able to afford to see a doctor or have surgery of any description. Thank you! (Also - I have read the cotton under the nail trick and cannot do this as the nail is cut too far down and will not lever upwards for me to fit anything under there - I tried for a long time, sorry)
