on my left foot, my big toe has an ingrown toenail and its been there for like a month. I hit my foot on the back of someone's shoe on the bus really hard on accident and when I got home it hurt a little bit, so I looked at it, and there was dried blood on top of my toe still bleeding

Soak your foot in warm water three or four times a day for about 20 minutes. Make sure you wash it two or three times and try elevating the nail if it isn't too deep in. It is painful, but get a cotton ball or something similar and place it under the toe. If it is already grown in too deep, you may want to see a doctor.

Both. Soaking it will slow the infection and will make the nail easier to move, and once the nail is elevated it should eventually grow above the skin, at which point you can trim it and presto, your ailment is healed. No witchcraft involved. You may have to invoke the devil or something, though, so that's a catch. But I'll put a good word in for you. ;D

you pull back the skin next to the nail. yank it hard and squeeze it.
that infection will squirt out from next to the nail, and it will stop hurting by end of day and be fine.

i had one. not from hang nail, but from wearing some shoes around without socks all summer. wasnt rubbing right.
hurts like hell
