I lost my toenail 1-1/2 months ago. when can i go swimming again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swimming: If there is no rawness or weeping of serum from the wound, I should think you'd be ready to swim in ocean, lake , river or pond water. In consideration of others in swimming pools, I would wait until more healing has occured and the toe shows more normal color.
