Hello It's ingrown toe nail and usually a painful condition. Partial nail avulsion will help prevent recurrent swelling and pain. You will need antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines initially to reduce infection and inflammation if any.
Next Steps
visit a qualified dermatologist for best possible management.
Health Tips
Do not cut your nails too short. Keep them little long from the tip of the toe.
