Side Of Toe Red And Painful After Grown Toenail Surgery, Purplish. Is This An Infection ?
Hello, I had in grown toenail surgery about 5 days ago. The pain is gone. The doctor cut it out, killed the nerves with some liquid and cauterized it. Now that side of the toe is red and painful, and so it some of the top of my to near the nail. Its turning purple a little bit as well. Is this an infection? Or a clot? Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that you might have got some infection at the site.Take one antibiotic medicine for 2-3 days.
Do regular dressing with antibiotic cream.
Ok and bye.
