I accidentally pulled out a tiny broken piece from my toenail and now there's some light redness and swelling on the side of my right toenail. I've been soaking my feet in warm water as a warm compress, but Im wondering if its okay to use Soframycin as an ointment to help with this. Does that sound like a good idea, or should I be doing something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of scalp inflammation and hair loss. To help reduce the heat on your head and address the hair fall, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing Ketoconazole 2% to help with scalp inflammation.
