How long should i wait to exercise (run, swim,) after a full ingrown toenail removal? are there any low impact activities i can do?

Check with your md: After the wound looks stable it should be fine to resume exercising. Check with your surgeon but it would typically be over a 5-10 day period.

Quite ssoon.: There are several treatment protocols that offer varying speeds of return to normal activity. It is not unusual to return to full activity within 24 hours of having a partial nail removal. A total nail removal may take a little longer depending on the activity. You should consult with the surgeon for his approximation.
