Previously broken toe filled with white pussy stuff?

Ok 1. Yes it says pussy but it's meant to be like puss, not the genital. 2. Like 5 or more years ago, I crushed the tip of my big toe, lost my toenail, was lucky enough to have it grow back. Now, for about a year, it's been kind of sore off and on. Well this time, it felt more painful. I figured it could be my toenail growing weird, and the side of my toe was swollen and white (like when you push on your skin , it turns white)., so, never having an ingrown toenail, I pulled the side of my toe connected to the nail, and this white stuff came out, almost like a zit on my toe. It only comes out if I push on it. Should I go to the doctor? The pain has pretty much stopped since and I'm not prone to infection at all (awesome immune system) but I'm still alittle worried

    You have an ingrown toenail. Don't waste your time going to your regular doctor. Go to a podiatrist. (foot doctor). They can remove the ingrown part of the nail and treat it with a medication that will prevent the nail from growing in the wrong area again. In most cases, your toenail will look like nothing happened to it. And it won't grow back under the skin again.
