Answers:
go to a doctor and he will either remove it for you if its bad enough or if its just starting and not bad he will tell you to wet a q-tip and push the skin away from the corner of the toenail where it hurts about 4 times a day and it should go away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to the doctor, it can get so bad your toe may need surgery to fix!. My mom had one before, when it was fixed she said it did not hurt at all, I saw, it only takes a couple seconds!. I promise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
