Should I see a doctor? What exactly is this?

Yeah, it's an ingrown toenail. Either a nurse can cut it out with scissors or you'll get local anasthesia and a doctor will go to town chopping your nail up and smashing it with a literal chisel depending on how bad the case is.
I had this when I was a kid, they fucked the first surgery up so bad I had to go back three more times for reconstructive plastic surgery and my nailbeds are now forever fucked.

In the 1600s if you showed a doctor that he would've just put rosemary on it and called it a day.

No, he would have cut off his toe without anaesthesia.

that looks infected you might need antibiotics but topical antifungals might work you need to see a doctor to know which to use though

Fucking ingrown toenail, that's the most annoying shit ever. Put your foot in some salt water and keep it clean and disinfected regularly while it grows out a bit. If it doesn't improve you can go to a doctor to get it removed, it's a pretty quick and simple procedure. Cut your nails straight next time so it doesn't happen again and make sure your shoes and socks aren't too tight.

Is that a toenail or a thumb? If toenail, you might require an operation and it would take years before the whole nail grows back and there's a 70% chance you'll get another ingrown from the same or the other side of the nail. If you have money make sure you get the best surgeon because if the surgery is botched then you'll end up another years of pain. You also wouldn't be able to wear socks and shoes too. I had the same shit for eight years, underwent three surgeries until I met an excellent surgeon who remodeled my nail bed, both sides of the skin were cut to keep the toenail from curling.

Frequently cutting your toenails is what usually causes an ingrown.

What do you do then? Forced barefoot humiliation..

I might not be a doctor, but I play one on line.
That is an ingrown toenail. It's painful and annoying. The medical solutions all suck and cost $$$. Keep the site clean. Stop tearing your nails off, and switch to a file. Cut a v notch somewhere in the middle to decrease the lateral pressure as it goes. Keep filing short and with a v notch. It will eventually resolve. It works, but expect at least 8 weeks of this before it looks better and stops hurting so much.

That's a gnome toe. Find the gnome and kill it before it reproduces.

I tried this and the gnome went up my asshole. What now

I wore sandals for eight years. Make sure the toenail is in open air as possible. Shoes especially tight fitting ones can influence the growth of the newly grown nails. It can make the shape stunted, and voila, you'll have a new ingrown that will require another surgery and money wasted. Don't be stupid and always follow the surgeon/doctor's orders.

I don't know if that's your toe or your thumb, but yes, you should definitely see a doctor.
