Symptoms of Ingrown toenails:

  • The most common symptom of an ingrown toenail is pain, especially if the area becomes infected.
  • Tenderness in your toe along one or both sides of the nail.
  • Swelling of your toe around the nail.
  • Infection of the tissue around your toenail.
  • You may develop a fever, although this is unusual.
  • In addition, a small amount of pus will come out of the edge.
  • The infection can spread, making the toe red and inflamed (paronychia).
