Question 1

how much does surgery for an ingrown nail usually cost and how long does it take to recover like would i be back to normal in a couple days

Accepted Answer

The cost of ingrown nail surgery in India ranges from ‚Çπ5,000 to ‚Çπ15,000, depending on the clinic. Recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks. You should be able to return to normal activities within a few days, though the toe may be sensitive for a while.

Question 2

I've had a foot corn for over a year now that won't go away no matter what I try, even used Watnil solution without success. Is surgery the only permanent fix for this or are there other long-term solutions that actually work? I'm worried it might keep coming back even after treatment.

Accepted Answer

While surgery can be an option, it's not always the first or only choice for a persistent foot corn. Other long-term solutions, like addressing the underlying causes and using professional treatments, can also be effective.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my toenail. It broke off when I accidentally hit it at home, and quite a bit of blood came out. I bandaged it with Dettol and cotton, but now there's pus forming and Betadyne isn't helping at all. I'm kinda freaking out because the pus just keeps coming. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, applying it to the affected area twice a day. In addition, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight shoes that may cause further irritation. If the infection does not improve or if you develop a fever, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription antibiotics.
