I've been dealing with this issue where I pulled an edge of my toenail, and it's been really painful and swollen ever since. I tried to fix it by cutting the corner of the nail that was digging into the skin, and I thought it was better. But the pain is still there, and it's been going on like this for about 23 weeks now. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how I can get some relief?

I'm having a lot of pain in my right leg because of an issue with my thumbnail. I can't even touch it or trim the nail because it's gotten under the skin. What should I do to fix this?

Ingrown toenails can be quite painful; consider consulting a doctor, preferably a dermatologist

I've had bunions on both toes since birth and really want to avoid surgery are there any exercises or devices that could help correct them over time

While congenital bunions (present since birth) are less responsive to conservative treatments than those that develop later in life, there are still exercises and devices that can help manage pain and potentially slow their progression. Focusing on strengthening foot muscles, improving toe movement, and using supportive devices can be beneficial.
