Toe problems, is it normal?

This morning, I woke up, and couldn't walk. I looked at my feet, and found that my third toe is red and inflamed. It is the exact same way on the other foot, too! Should I get this checked out by a doctor?

    It's not on one side of my toenail, but it actually BELOW it! I'm not sure if you can get an in-grown toenail that way..

    My brother had that and they were ingrown toenails which required surgery, so yes you should probably get them checked out.

    Well, it may be an ingrown toenail, if it's inflamed on one side. Try soaking it in warm water with epsom salts every night and take it easy on your feet. Your shoes might be bothering them. After a while, if they don't get better, maybe have a doctor see it. :)

    its called an ingrown toenail.
    you toes are like digging into your skin
    you should get it checked out cause its probably infected.

    However heere comes the scary part.
    To heal: you doctor cuts away half of your nail to free the part inside the skin.

    but dont worry, they numb it first.

    i had it b4
