Suggest Treatment For Inflammation And Pain In The Toe Nail
Hi I have ingrow toe nail that seem to have created inflammation and pain to the point I could not touch the sensitive area. When the pain eased it would slightly itch. The doc prescribed fucicort 15g cream Leo which definitely helped reduce the pain and inflammation, however it has created skin scab that s reddish and it itches a lot. Is this normal

Hello,
Ingrowing toe nail is a frustrating problem and it can cause inflammation many times.So i would suggest you to take surgeon s opinion and remove this toe nail because till then you will continue to have these scabs.
If you are not willing for surgery then you need to avoid wearing shoes, do not keep this place wet and apply this cream. I hope you are not a Diabetic.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
