A member asked:
Trimmed toenails-noticed dark grey raised spot next to big toenail-slight pain, think it was ingrown nail. trimmed off spot of skin, it bled a bit, blood went deep, and a tiny bit of clear liquid (pus?). cleaned w/isop. alcohol + bandaid. infected?

Probably: It does sound like an ingrown toenail, which usually does involve infection. The corner of the nail grows into the skin edge and burrows in causing infection. If it is mild, you can sometimes keep the nail edge elevated out of the skin and it can grow past the area. If that does not work, probably would be good to be seen.
