How to treat an ingrown toenail after surgery?

Toenail : The best thing you can do for a toenail after having surgery is to apply an antibiotic ointment and to soak it in epsom salts on a daily basis.

It can vary: I have my patient's soak in warm water-epsom salts daily for a few days (if the permanent correction is performed, it can be up to six weeks). A topical antibiotic and dressing for a few days should help. If redness, puffiness and/or pain persists, i might prescribe an antibiotic. If the patient has no improvement within a few days i see them.
