A member asked:
The edge of my toenail is a little swollen, with some clear liquid discharge from it. it is not an ingrown toenail so how do i heal it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be ingrown!: Swelling and drainage (even if it's clear blister-like fluid) are signs of an ingrown toenail. It may not be infected yet, which is a good thing. Soak in warm water and epsom salts 10min/day and cover with antibiotic ointment and a bandaid in the meantime, but see your podiatrist for permanent treatment options.
