My toenail has been growing into the flesh and turned black it got worse during lockdown. A doctor earlier suggested surgery to remove it, but I couldn't go. What can I do now to treat this ingrown toenail?
A black toenail, especially when ingrown and worsened during a period like lockdown, could indicate a few things, including injury, infection, or an ingrown toenail. It's important to address the issue, as it can lead to pain, infection, and further complications. Home care, like soaking and proper nail trimming, can help in some cases, but if the problem persists or worsens, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I've been struggling with this ingrown toenail for ages, but now there's this fluid leaking from the gap between the nail and skin of my toe. It's kind of freaking me out. What can I do about this? Would a dermatologist be the right person to help me out?
An ingrown toenail with fluid oozing can be a sign of infection. You can soak your foot in warm water and Epsom salts to help reduce inflammation and pain. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area. In case of pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to see a doctor. A dermatologist can help with this issue by providing proper treatment and care, which may include draining the fluid and prescribing antibiotics if necessary.
