If so, i don't have an answer. However, if this is from the side, simply cut the excess nail that is connected to the skin, or ask help from a doctor.

Why do ingrown toenails hurt?

Ingrown toenails hurt because what is happening is that your toenail is penetrating the skin. when anything penetrates your skin it will hurt.
