Need Advice Help NSFW

Well I relapsed again never this bad in my life and I don’t know if my nails will grow back or even if properly because I’ve cut down to almost no nail and it’s grown back but this is new to me and the pain is bad it feels like a ingrown toenail is there and throbbing all over

My toes hurt for you. Can you get to a doctor? Keep them clean. You don't want an infection. Other than basic pain relievers, keeping your feet above your heart will help a bit.

Editing to add, it looks like you may have a fungal infection based on your post about a month ago, a doctor will be able to tell you more

I went last time and they said I had nothing at all and just gave me an anti infection just in case and I knew it was fungal so I guess imma just get some anti fungal cream and put it on everyday with a bandage and stuff

No you should go to a doctor this can get infected really bad and your doctor might be able to help with the pain. Don't put anti fungal cream on it just because as this is not a fungal issue.
