<s>[INST] 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?
