You could be possibly suffering from ingrown toe nail . In this the nail is curved and it impinges on the surrounding skin. For swelling and pain , antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines will help temporarily. Ingrown toe nail may require surgical removal. But an actual examination by an dermatologist will help in arriving at proper diagnosis and as per it treatment can be decided. Dr Arti Bhasme , Pune
