after i broke my toenail, the toe was hypersensitive for a few days.
Your toe.
A dark toenail is just a dirty toenail.
The word toenail is a compound word. The words are toe and nail.
Ingrown toenails hurt because what is happening is that your toenail is penetrating the skin. when anything penetrates your skin it will hurt. The toenail will press on nerves in the toe. another reason that it hurts is that it is infected. The way to treat an infected ingrown toenail is to remove the toenail from the opening in the skin with nail trimmers then soak the toe in warm salt water. Hope this helps!!

It doesn't matter so long as you don't undercut so much that you get an ingrown toenail.
Beacuse she know of your phobia of toe nails
It usually does not.
The new toenail will grow in and the old one will fall off or be pushed along if it is still attached. Go to a doctor if it pushes into the skin or otherwise irritates the toe.
Go to a doctor right away to get some medication
My mother had an ingrown toenail on her big toe and let it go for months, even though it was painful. When she finally went to have something done, they found that her toenail had grown down toward the bottom of her toe around both sides of her toenail. So, the pain she felt was awful because with every step down, since her toenail was almost poking through the underneathe bottom of her big toe, it was unbearable pain. I think you have to cut the sides to prevent this from happening. Or have a doctor do it. Infection would make it so much worse. Get it checked out.
