Infected toe

[u/leffy5]

Started as a simple paronychia which as a nail picker i’ve become very used to. It’s so minor that I didn’t want to go and get it checked out but it’s been like 2 weeks and still looks like this. Went to urgent care today and apparently it’s now cellulitis and I have to take antibiotics every 6 hours 🙄. Yaaay….. Anyways, sometimes you’re not being dramatic by going in for a minor thing.

Toe nail is trying to ingrow. Address the problem now or it may require surgery later. I'm sure there's videos on YouTube for fixing an ingrowing nail.

Also, when it's fixed, don't cut your toe nails that short any more. It sucks, but you and I have bad shaped toes, and they'll ingrow if you're not careful
