please help!I have a ingrown finger nail and i have to go see the doctor because its so infected whats the doctor gonna do?
dont freak out they might give you some antibiotics orif its really bad they will send you to a specialist who will see how far the the infection is and make a small mark...give you a couple shots of novacane a cut that part of the nail out of the skin and remove some of the infected tissue....you will probably have to soak it twice a day in dish soap and hot water...it doesnt hurt that bad...you cant even tell that part of it is taken off....but it all depends on the condition of the finger...good luckI have a ingrown finger nail and i have to go see the doctor because its so infected whats the doctor gonna do?
All depends on the condition of the finger, the nail, the nail bed,.. and how much infection is present.
The minimal that will be done is a prescription of antibiotics or antifungals given.
However, I would suspect the doctor would relieve the inward growth of the nail, and then either he or his nurse clean, disinfect, and dress the finger.
At worst the nail will be taken off.
If the nail is to be taken off, the doctor will numb your finger completely.
You'll be fine.
