Ingrown toenail @ one month old?

Kelsey

My month old son has ingrown toenails on both big toes. His pediatrician said it's okay and just to keep pushing the skin around the nail back and that it's not as painful as an ingrown toenail in adults. But everytime I touch his toes, he acts like it's painful and will cry. Anyone have experience with this? I feel bad for him. 😔
