toe pain help

this started out of nowhere. around june 23 my left ring toe looked weird and started peeling. didn’t hurt at first, just looked off. today it fully peeled off after a shower and i gently pulled the nail off. i thought that was weird enough but now my right pinky toe is literally killing me.

on july 3 it started getting sore randomly. no open wound, no blister, just pain and swelling. since then it’s gotten so much worse. today it’s red, hot, swollen, and throbbing like crazy. i took 800mg of advil and it did nothing. it hurts so bad i keep getting random leg spasms from it.

it’s not the toe itself that hurts the most — it’s the nail bed, especially the corner and base. feels like the nail is digging in. now i have chills, the pain won’t go away, and i’m honestly so uncomfortable i don’t even know what to do.

i wear ON Cloud 6 waterproof sneakers (women’s 8.5) and soft cotton socks. never had issues with these shoes before. i hate wool so i don’t wear wool socks. i’ve been sitting with socks off for hours trying to rest it but it’s just getting worse.

for context i’m 27, female, 5’2”, around 240lbs. i don’t smoke, no known medical conditions or meds. this is just completely random and came out of nowhere.

someone suggested i poke it with a needle and pour peroxide on it but that sounds like a bad idea.

can anyone tell me what this is?? is this a pressure injury? an ingrown nail? infection? should i go to a walk-in or is this emergency level?

any shoe/sock recs would be appreciated too because i clearly need to switch something. i’ve been taking pics of the changes since it started. if anyone wants to see them let me know. this just sucks and i’m tired and in pain.

thanks in advance
