not sure but i think i have an ingrown thumbnail its very sore and always hurts when i hit it even gently?

on accident. the right side of the nail is a little discolored. the pain is definitely not unbearable just frustrating cause you use your thumbs so often so even simple tasks hurt. any ideas how to get rid of the pain? thanks in advance

    take a razor blade and cut the discoloured bit or stick a needle in. Chances are you'll get a lot of blood but if it's infected it'll take the poison out. Then try and pull out what you can of the ingrown bit. I have that problem with my toes a lot
