I just had my big toenail removed. Basically the podiatrist told me to soak it in epsom salt for 15 min 2x a day, dry it then put triple antibiotic ointment on it and bandage it for a week. So many different takes on post op instructions.

well most of our dr’s IN PERSON are saying epsom salt and soak it etc. the vids say otherwise lol listen to your dr bc every vid i see someone say their dr said use epsom salt soaking and use a bandage and apply triple antibiotic to avoid infection so do what your dr told you

I just had an ingrown toenail procedure. When can I take a shower or go back to the pool?

This depends on the type of procedure you had. Pools have a slightly higher risk than showers, even though they are chlorinated because of other people being in the pool.

Tomorrow will be a week out since I had my whole toenail removed and I’m still taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen every 6 hours. If I wait, my toe is very sore and I can’t walk on my foot

post op pain can sometimes linger, always check with your doctor consider pemf for pain

If there is drainage, I don’t like to put an ointment on because it can clog up the area

Ok, thank you for that input. Do you recommend a non stick pad for big toe avulsion over gauze due to possible sticking?

I’m watching this after just getting the procedure done- my podiatrist told me to use polysporin(basically neosporin) eye drops or ear drops on the area after the soak. Mentioning this because it could be a supplement for the benefits of an ointment?

No general answer there, it depends on what organisms are trying to be covered and the risk factors for the patient.
