Question 2
Carlos is being seen by a podiatrist at the clinic today. He states his left big toe is killing me It hurts almost all the time, and it hurts especially when he wears his shoes. The toe is red and slightly swollen at the tip. Upon closer inspection, it is evident that the toenail is ingrown. The skin around the tip of the toe had grown over the side of end of the nail. Carlos acknowledged he does his own foot care, but is not all that particular on how well he trims his nails. A look at his shoes shows they are a bit old and Carlos did agree that perhaps they do not fit as well as they could. He was instructed on the proper way to trim his nails and urged to wear shoes that fit in not only length but also width.
Carlos elected to have definitive treatment for the ingrown nail. A local anesthetic was used to numb the area first. The overgrown skin at the side of the tip of the nail was excised, exposing the tip. There was a moderate amount of pus, which was removed. The corner of the nail was cut in a wedge section and removed. There was little to no loss of blood. The toe was covered with a bandage. Carlos was instructed to soak the foot in Epsom salts and warm water twice a day, and to keep the area clean. He should keep the area covered when not soaking it, and to wear sandals, if possible, while it heals. Prophylactic antibiotics were prescribed. He was also given a tetanus shot, since he has not had one in a number of years. Carlos is to return to the office in two weeks to check on healing, or sooner if he notices any signs or symptoms of increased infection.
