Suggest Treatment For A Painful Hard Lump On The Toe

I have an ingrown toe nail, on my big right toe. I ve had it for at least a week, it s bleeding, has pus, and is swollen. This morning it looked slightly more red, but looking at it a few hours ago I notice a big red like under the nail, down to the edge of my toe. This line is hard, and has a lump to it. It only slightly hurts. Is this related to the ingrown toenail?

HI,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,you seems to suffer from-ONYCOCRYPTOSIS with hypertrophich grannulation tissue from ingrown nail.This needs to be treated by Excision of part- nail matrix plate with gutter nail splint by sterile plastic tube.
Yes this rigid hard line of red tissue,is due to the ingrowing nail causing grannulation hypertrophy from the irritation of the ingrowing nail in to the soft tissue around.
Welcome for any further query in this regard

Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
