[|Human|] Ive had an ingrown toe nail on my rt big toe for over a month now. I went to the e.r. 10/31/11, to seek help. Before removing the nail completely, the doctor did 3 attempts of anesthesia. There were complications with the anesthesia. They finally removed the nail and applied ointment (Triple-antibiotic cream). Since the procedure, my toe has gotten worse and so has the pain. I apply the cream twice a day. There is fluid flushing out of everywhere and where the anesthesia was injected, looks like 2nd degree burns. It looks like its spreading throughout the entire toe and foot. I am also soaking it in epsom salt and warm water. How ever, this still doesnt make it any better. What else should I do? Please help!!
[|AI|]  Thank you for posting your query in Chat Doctor .com....well probably you had parochial and secondary infection following which the nail had to be removed.....but the infection persisted in spite of antibiotics and there had been further abscess formation.....I would suggest you to visit a GENERAL SURGEON as soon as possible for inspection of the area and also for further management...an examination is needed before giving you further advice.... hope this was helpful....regards
