PLEASE HELP ASAP – Toenail pulled off by Dr
(3 discussions)
PLEASE – some advice before 9 AM tomorrow is possible.
She goes back to the Dr at 10 AM.My mother had her little toenail pulled out with a pair of tweezers last week.
She went in just to have her toenail trimmed. (They actually have curled into a circle on top of her toes.)Since that procedure, she has heard nothing but horror stories about having the others removed. She is 80 years old and doesn’t need any more to worry about.
Two questions:1.
Is that normal procedure?
Is it safe to just numb the toenail and yank it out without any warning?2.
What, if any, are the risks of doing this to the other toes.
Thank you, Carol

: The last few nites I have been awakened by an intense itch in the arch of my right foot. This has happened once in the past. I have noticed the itching somewhat through the day today but it seems much worse at night when it wakes me up. : What could this be? I don’t think it is an external cause, fabrics, soaps, laundry detergent because none of that have been changed recently. : Because of constant sore throats I had a series of blood work done three months ago and my hemoglobin A1C was normal. Could it possibly be a symptom of diabetes??? I am overweight and on an antidepressant and an antihistamine. I don’t know if that matters in dealing with this but I have been on these two medicines for quite a while and do not believe I am allergic to them as I have no other symptoms. Thanks for any help or suggestions!: Patty
