You will feel pain and depending on how ingrown it is, you may not be able to see the edge. Try pushing down on the toenail which you suspect is ingrowing and if it hurts then the chances are you have one. it hurts a lot when pressure is put on the foot. Soaking in warm salt water or using a warm wet wash cloth wrap helps to soften the skin and release puss and relieve the pain, before pushing back the edge of the toe from the nail.
Wearing open toe shoes will help keep any pressure off the toe while the nail continues to grow out.
