I had to have my big toenail removed back in June because it somehow became detatched. Anyway, I know toenails can take a very long time to grow back, but in the meantime is there anything I should be doing for the toe? The last time I was back to the podiatrist for a check he said the new nail had started to grow in. He also said it would have a wave to it while growing back. I can definitely see something growing in that is absolutely hideous! There is a lot of yucky, crusty stuff all over where the toenail should be. I guess I'm wondering if I should be soaking it or anything to make it look better. Being that it is so ugly, I want to keep it covered at least while I'm out in public! I've also read that I shouldn't use a bandaid as that will hold in the moisture and could cause infection. So does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks!
