Probably: Directness may be due to a result of the surgery or you may be developing an infection. See the surgeon who did it the case.

It's not unusual: But it's a good idea to make sure they aren't infected. Usually, you see the doc in follow up and they can check them at that point in time. Follow your post nail avulsion instructions. If any doubt call your doc.
