DO not underestimate the agony of trying to walk while a poorly clipped nail is slicing into the swollen, suppurating flesh of your big toe. While this rule applies to all nails, it’s most important for your big toe. Cancer patients are also more likely to have problems with ingrown nails. When the nail grows into the skin of the toe, the affected area becomes inflamed and painful. A visit to the family doctor’s office is also advisable if the ingrown nail is accompanied by fever and exhaustion.
