Ingrown Toenail ++ Blood
Posted: 04-22-04 20:24pm

Well, started about 6 weeks ago, trimmed my toenail with my fingers. Pulled it a bit to short. Usually it grows back as normal. Not this time, it got quite painfull. A bit of swelling and yellow/red looking.

Went to doctor, he said it didnt look ingrown, but was infected. So a 5 day course of cephelexin was set. Finsihed that and wore some sandles to encourage healing as doctor said.

Now, it hasnt gotten any better. In a way its worse. There is alot of dried blood where the nail meets the skin (left side) and especially at the top left corner.

I have tried just letting it dry, thinking that its healing but heh, its taking to long and I think something is wrong. I booking another doctors apoinment soon, I want this problem fixed.
