My toe keeps getting all infected & icky - should I go to my doctor or just leav!


Question: My toe keeps getting all infected & icky - should I go to my doctor or just leave it!?
This is eww but nevermind xD

Basically, my (left) big toe has got infected a couple of times on the left hand side, the rest of the nails find, its just always on the edge of the nail :/ it doesnt look ingrown or anything but it keeps going really red and swollen for a couple of weeks & i can't do anything about it cause theres nothing there & then it goes all green & yucky & i get the poison out!. then it seems fine but it keeps coming back!

i try to soak it after i get the poison out & then try cut the nail cause theres usually a bit thats kinda sharp & sticks out so i maybe thought that was the problem >!.<

but its happened a couple of times, i just wondered whether next time it happens should i do the same thing or go to the doctor & ask them what to do!? :S

it never hurts when im walking, or with shoes on or anything but just if i touch it, its usually all red and swollen and eww >!.<Www@Answer-Health@Com
