Partial nail avulsion
Sir, My dermatologist did a partial nail avulsion to my toe nail as it was ingrown. It was done before 2 weeks. Now the skin on the part where the nail is removed has a wound and yellow discharge is seen there. I was given 10 antibiotics before and after surgery. Is it normal discharge? How long does it take for the wound to get healed? Thanks.
