Ingrown toe nail, i think?

Ok so yesterday night i realized my toe nail was getting long so as i was watching a movie i was picking at it to shorten it. i got it short and went to bed there was no pain. i woke up today and my toe was hurting. not a lot but it was irritating and i couldn't move it up or down without it hurting. i put cold peas on it and it helped. i think it might be an ingrown toe nail. it doesnt hurt that much anymore. i can move it up and down now with only little pain. thanks for the help.Ingrown toe nail, i think?
Well, an ingrown toe nail would be pretty obvious. The nail curves into the skin and when pressure is applied, it can cause a lot of pain. This can be caused from clipping or in this case, picking it to low. I have had ingrown toe nails and they are anything but comfortable. If it does not naturally heal, you should see a podiatrist.
