Two weeks post big toe toenail removal. no clear signs of infection, but top half of toe is a bit pink not red. id see my doctor if i thought it was infected. but, it may be a little inflamed. is this normal at two weeks?

If pain and exudate free, your toe should be fine. With either symptom, especially the latter, super-infection may be present. Good luck.

If you have concerns about an infection apply topical antibiotic cover with bandaid until healed
