Hi all. Have come for some advice. Please negative comments as it has taken me alot to just reach out for some help. I have had ingrown toenails on both big toes for not far off ten year. Ive been so scared/ashamed i have just let them be. I have to clean them daily as the smell is terrible but the pain is now getting so bad i really need some help.

I'm going to attatch some pics. These have just been cleaned out of the shower . I tend to deal with the pain but now concerned about the colour of my toes and the drak shadow on them. Do i brave A&E ? I'm not registered with a doctor atm or well you tell me what do i do?

    You need to see a Podiatrist who specialises in foot and nail conditions either go NHS route or private most consults are free

    I was in agony with two ingrowing toenails. I went privately to a chiropodist and within seconds she had sorted it out for me. The best thirty five pounds I have ever spent.
