How Can An Ingrowing Toenail Be Treated?
I was trying to get an ingrown nail out and i thought i had gotten it out because it stoped hurting but then a few days later i noticed a bump starting to form and its filled with puss and its starting to bleed. And if i bump it up againts something by accident it hurts and it feels as if the nail is pressing up against the skin. How can i get rid of it?

Dear patient
You have possible infection of ingrown nail by wrong practice and this needs urgent attention by genealogy surgeon. Meanwhile start tab augmentin 625 mg thrice a day to resist infection and tab diclofenac 50mg twice a day for pain relief. Avoid further trauma. Drainage of pus also may be required. All the best.
