A Sore toe

Its been a month now and its still swollen. Every time my toe will bump on to something it really hurts. I cant bare the pain and that's when I shouted. It is quite swollen on the inner side of the nail. Its like there's an infected-looking tissue that appeared to be growing from the inside.

I think I better take some antibiotics. I don't want to settle down with surgery. Its getting worst everyday. And its all so painful from the inside. I don't know if its an ingrown toenail or something else. The two big toes are very much different in size because my right toenail is bigger than my left toenail. So, I painted my nails with some red nail polish just to hide my big infected toenail.

As what Ive heard ingrown toenails are very common and might settle down without surgery. They suggested to take antibiotics and bathe the ingrown toenail in a lukewarm salty water. I will definitely try that one first to see if it really works. I have waited for months for this toenail to heal.

Thank god Im not wearing closed shoes cause if I do I would end up walking like a cripple.
