A member asked:
My 3 yr old son has an infection on his toe. it was doing well for 2 days as we lanced it today it looks wise. should we see a doc or not?

If it is near the: Nail, there could be ingrown nail there. That would not be effected by lancing it. Consider seeing a podiatrist. Sometimes it is safest to have a medical professional provide surgical interventions. Home bath room surgeries carry a risk. Take care.
