It really sounds like gout. Gout is extremely painful and will attack the joint in your big toe. It is caused by too much uric acid in your blood. It will crystallize at the big toe joint and cause redness and swelling. It is extremely painful and the slightest touch will cause a lot of discomfort. If you can take ibuprofen, it helps the best. Drink lots of water to help the kidneys flush the uric acid out of your system. A simple test will tell you if the level of your acid is above normal. Gout is not common in females, but it is possible. There are plenty of webs sites to answer any questions you may have.

Good Luck.

Ingrown toenail? Soak it, that should help.

Is it near the nail? if so probably a hang nail, I would soak it and try to dig it out, or go to the doctor and have them do it...
