Hello! I am a 19-year-old boy from Sofia. Two months ago I had problems with the toenail of one foot - I was in pain and had pus. I went to the doctor and they sent me for an operation under the fast procedure (they removed 1/3 of the nail). It was all 6, I was glad there was no pain, but when I saw it my friend almost fainted. Now my problem is the other thumb - it's been red for two days, and today while I was kicking I was in pain. If anyone has been through something like this, I would be grateful if they could point me to something - if it's grandma's nonsense, I'd like to try something before I go to surgery. Thank you so much!

I recommend Dr. Ivan Naidenov Tolekov from Veliko Tarnovo. Years ago I had a nail problem and it saved me from surgery. He prescribed me treatment, which I managed to do.
Lubricate it with oxygenated water. Push a cotton ball soaked in oxygenated water under the nail to lift it as it grows. Do not wear tight shoes. Don't walk a lot these days, because when you step on it, it will push you. Always cut your toenails in a straight line without twisting.
I'm the author of Mercy for the tips. It doesn't hurt, but beat the pus. Can you give me some advice on how to put the cotton on - how big it is and more or less how long to hold it - I don't know how much the nail has to grow so that it doesn't grow back. As for cutting, they will already be in a straight line, I learned my lesson
Cotton soaked in alcohol on the spot - all night, remove in the morning.
A little cotton enough to tuck under the nail and lift it a little. Change it several times a day. The pus is a signal of infection. Smear with iodasept. If it doesn't go away in a few days, maybe a medical pedicure?
It's me again. I couldn't put a cotton ball under it - it just doesn't work. I tried to cut a little less than the nail, but it didn't work. Please, if anyone knows a good medical pedicure for men in Sofia to share. If not - I will go to the surgeon next week and I will get used to going with socks in our country for a long time :) :)
Do not cut it too much to the bottom, leave it a little so that it does not sink down into the meat. Otherwise, I also had this problem, I have 2 surgeries on both legs. Before I got to the operations, I went non-stop for 1 year with tampons soaked in alcohol and rivanol ... I don't know how much they helped ... but the way out of this situation, apart from the operation, I at least see, was a great pain. After the operation, watch by cutting your nails to stay a little outside the meat, that is, not to the bottom, I have been doing this for 6 years, and I was told that the problem could reappear.
