So for the past few months my one big toes has been extremely itchy and hurts on and off. I know, I know...I am going to see a foot dr. but in the meantime getting some opinions. Anyway, it started after I had my son which makes me wonder if I picked up something in the shower at the hospital or pool from a few days before labor. At first I assumed ingrown nail with the pain but I cut my nail down and there's nothing. My skin at the edge of nail is thicker but my nail isn't yellow either. It's reddish in the itchy area though...any ideas?
