Ingrown toenail and just had operation but it's not getting better. how long does it take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Return to the dr: It should get better after the doc took care of it, however, every now and then if an infection was present it may take a little longer, it is possible a small spicule of nail was left behind. .....See the doc for a follow up......
