I had a toenail removed 3 days ago and it's still bleeding. is that normal?

Toenail bleeding: Not usually normal. Good idea to report this to the surgeon, to be sure all is ok.

It could: Some blood oozing or blood tinged drainage is not unusual at this point. Follow your postoperative instructions and if it persists over the next few days, talk to your doctor.
