How soon after ingrown toenail minor surgery should i wait to play football it's just touch football no contact?

Ingrown toenail: When the nail bed stops draining and you have no discomfort playing football. Make sure you protect the surgical site as inadvertent injuries may cause bleeding and pain recurrence. Also, make sure you wear full shoes that are comfortable and protective.

When to play: Usually after the procedure it’s sore for a few days. As long as there was no infection a week is probably a good measure of time depending on the degree of your pain and the specific type of procedure done. Be sure to consult your physician.

Ingrown : Your best source of advice is your podiatrist . There is no mention of the extent of the surgery - sometimes sutures are needed - or if infection is present. Always give something the proper amount of time to heal - you will be glad you did . Best of luck.

Post-op period : Usually ingrown nail surgery is done under local anesthesia. I usually tell my patients to stay away from sports for 10-14 days. Even though you're playing touch football it's the shoes that i'm concerned about. You don't want any friction or trauma to the toe that would delay healing. You should soak your toe in epsom salt and warm water every night. Apply betadine or centany cream on toe after.
