I had ingrown tonail removed 4 weeks ago

by michelle
(parma ohio)

It's redder than ever doesnt look good it's swollen and it doesnt seem to be healing




.
What do I do

Michelle,
This is straight forward advice: you go back to your doctor and let he or she see the toe and provide appropriate treatment.

If it is swollen and red there is a good chance it is infected. Ignoring this may lead to a bone infection which is a very difficult condition to resolve.
