Ingrowing Toenail

I have been diagnosed with 'ingrowing toenail'. Now this could mean one of two things - either my toenail really is growing inwards at the wrong angle, or, bacteria has infected the area around the toenail, causing it to swell. I think I have the latter.

Luckily, the toe in contempt is only painful when I touch it or when my wife accidentally knocks it with her leg, bringing out a slightly over-exaggerated cry of anguish from me. Yes, men do want sympathy at times! But it does hurt too.

The purple coloured bath solution is relaxing and leaves my foot a plasticy shade of orange after 15 minutes.

Just waiting patiently for the medication to do its job.
