On toes...

I find it strange how I can go like... 3 years without stubbing or hitting my toes off things. Then out of no where, I'll literally just kill one and for some reason manage to smash it at least 5 more times before it feels better. What is this?

I say thing because I've been having issues with the cuticle on my big toe. Some tell me its an ingrown toenail and others say its a corn(sick.)... Fact is... It HUUURTS and I keep dropping shit on it... I recently dropped a shoe on it, which from my understanding is pretty ironic.
