Big Toenail cut too short

3 replies

Decided to cut my toenails at the same time as I did my DD's the other night, she's 18 months old so has the teeny tiny nail cutters, bad idea....because of the small curve I cut my toenail way too short and now it's super super sore, it's gone red and swollen all down the side and earlier on in the bath when I pushed against the swelling pus came out 🤢 do I need to see my GP or do you think it will heal with just keeping it clean??

Similar happened to dd and I asked the GP as we were there anyway. She said as it "has discharged" it would now heal up, and it did. I'd put TCP or similar on it and keep an eye on it.

@MrsEricBana thank you for your post, i will invest in some tcp and hope it heals without a visit to the docs
