PERMANENT TOENAIL REMOVAL
Ok.. so ive had ingrown toenail problems for 5 years.. i had it taken off twice once and then had it done permanently.. i just had the sides done and had acid put on them..my dr told me to soak twice a day with epsom salt and take my antis.. ive been on two rounds of them and its still drainage.. is it normal? It was done about 3 weeks ago? maybe two.. the nail looks great but the skin is red and draining.. i had a infection when it was taken off.. also.. she never mentioned about airing it out.. i know it needs air so how long should i air it each day.. ive had it completely covered since surgery.. thanks..

Yeah I would call to because my friend had his removed and they told him he can keep it open for a few minutes but not to long. They said they didn't want his toe to be open for infectionsFound an answer to your question?

My son is supposed to have this done on Friday- and we were told he'd be fine to go back to school on Monday...
They said it would be the same as when they cut out the ingrown part 7 weeks ago. 2-3 days and he was fine
