Subsequent to stepping on a nail, how long will it take my foot to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Did you need antibiotics? Was there an infection? Did you get a tetanus shot? What part of the foot? Was there any soft tissue injury? How far in did it get? Where you barefoot or in shoes?
