I have a hanging toe nail problem, should I see the doctor?

Answer by  mb (5482)

I assume that you mean you have a hangnail on one of your toes. This is pretty minor. Its just an ingrown toenail, you are probably wearing shoes that are too tight. YOu need to clip off the offending edge and rip it out. If you let it grow too long it can inbed and need surgery.

A hanging toenail has the potential to become infected. If you experience redness, pain or drainage that is related to your handing toenail, see your doctor. You may need medical treatment such as antibiotics.

You should always go to see a foot doctor, or podiatrist, if there is a problem with a hangnail or an issue with a toenail. There are a lot of problems that could occur.

Yes you should go see a doctor about it, the doctor can give you a referral to a toe doctor, to get it taken care of. The doctor can tell you, if it needs to be taken care of before it gets worse. Or just leave it, but it probably needs a doctor to look at your toes.
