Suggest The Methods To Avoid My Toe Nail From Digging Into Skin
The side of the nail on my big toe has been digging into my toe and I've been cutting it away for quite a while now. The skin on the side of my toe now has a pouch into which the nail always grows, where it pushes against the skin again. I have to dig out the nail before cutting it and it is very painful. Any suggestions on how to stop it?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it is the infection of the big toe. and the nail dips into the nail.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to get the nail, excised, and treated for healing.
New nail will grow in about 15 days. which will be healthy.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
