My right big toe has a super painful ingrown nail that's driving me crazy. Should I go for surgery or are there other meds or home fixes that could help? The pain is really bad and I'm not sure what to do.

This foot condition usually heals without surgery. In severe cases, your healthcare provider may need to remove part of your nail surgically through a procedure called nail avulsion. Ingrown toenail surgery keeps the edge of your nail from growing inward and cutting into your skin.

I accidentally stepped on a stapler pin recently during a function and it poked my foot. I pulled it out quickly and only had a tiny droplet of blood and a slight pinch. It's been a few days and Im still feeling pain when I walk and its hard to put full pressure on that foot. Theres no sign of an injury or swelling, but the pain is definitely there when I press down. Should I be worried about getting a tetanus shot, or do you think it's a good idea to see a specialist about this?

I've been dealing with a weird situation where my left toenail has turned kinda yellowish and bluish, and it's been really painful. There's this sticky yellow liquid that keeps coming out too. It all began after someone accidentally stomped on my foot. What could be going on with my toenail? Should I be worried about it?
