My toe

I have a hurt toe. It's amazing how something like this can take over your life. I few years ago, I had surgery on this toe, so I am used to it bothering me and the lower range of motion from it. A few months ago I really smashed it and made the nail turn black and ugly looking. Now the nail has become ingrown. I've avoided the doctor this long and don't want to go in now, but I'm not sure I can avoid it anymore.
