Question

I've got this really bad pain and swelling going on in one of my toes, and I'm pretty sure it's due to an ingrown nail. I'm not sure who I should see about this. What kind of doctor or specialist would be the best to consult for something like this? Also, what kind of treatment should I expect or ask for?

Consult a podiatrist or a dermatologist for ingrown toenail treatment, which may involve soaking, trimming, or surgically removing the nail, and in severe cases, antibiotics or partial nail avulsion may be prescribed.
