Hi doctor, I have toenail problem. I had bleeding and pus formation. I consulted a doctor and she had prescribed the following treatment. Tablet Novamox CV 625 three times a day for five days. Apply T-bact ointment twice a day. After taking the above treatment, the pus formation stopped. But there is some bleeding and wound. I am attaching the images so that you can have a better look. I am getting married in a couple weeks, so I do not want to opt for nail removal. Kindly let me know what needs to be done.
Hi. How did this start? Did you have trauma to the nail? Is it painful? Is it only one to nail? How many times it has bled? You have mentioned there was pus, was it greenish? Or just frank white pus? Does it smell bad? Your other toenails appear yellow (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Are you using any cream or lotion like Betadine or Turmeric? When did you take the last dose of the antibiotic pill? It looks like pyogenic granuloma growing underneath as per the pictures you have attached, also there is a secondary infection. Pyogenic granuloma is a benign growth of blood capillaries that are usually painless but bleeds with trauma. It can also be pseudomonas nail infection. Can you please answer the above questions so that I can make a concrete diagnosis?
