How to tell if a toenail is still ingrown?

I ripped off half my toenail in a biking accident a few weeks ago, and it grew back ingrown. I cut it as far as I could, but I'm not sure if it's still ingrown or not since I only know how to tell if it's ingrown if it's near the top of my toe and I had to cut it down to almost the middle of the nail. It's still a little swollen, and it hurts when I hit it against something, but it's not red anymore. I clean and put neosporin on it daily and keep it loosely bandaged. I also do the hot water soak things. How do I tell if it's healing properly? It's been about a week since I cut it.
