I don’t think it’s an ingrown toenail and I often have them and this is in the strangest place at the bottom of my toe nail. It is soooooooo sore to touch :(

I have had a couple of them not nice if it gets infection and antibiotics don't work it sometimes as to be removed and let it grow again ,my tip is bathe it in warm salt water and when dry let air get to it and see if it heals good luck.

No I don’t think so it’s like a lump that feels like hard skin then if I peel the skin off it a bleeding lump then it grows back 🙃

In growing toenail, see your go maybe

Can you self refer to podiatry in your area? It might be faster and better treatment then going to a GP.

It could be in ingrown toenail, as it isn't just at the tip that it grows in, but down the side too.

Looks very sore and yes I think it is ingrowing nail, if you cut your nails straight, you will get that ingrowing toenails.

My wife cut hers straight across and would not listen to my words of wisdom, we have a drop in centre for the foot fetish ones to get help.

One bloke wouldn’t listen to them and both big toes fell off.
