hi guys new here

i am having my big toe nail removed in a month or so because i have ingrown toe nail already had it op on once but did not get better and now the other side of toe nail has now started to ingrow

so they have decide to remove the toe nail altoghter

so i want to know how long will i not be able to walk for also what will it look like and could you link a few pic of what it would look like after as i am very worred about it as i am a 19/m/uk

Hi! You will be able to walk very soon. You will need to wear some bandage to protect your toe. In some weeks nail will grow. It is very important to take right care about your nail after surgery to prevent new ingrow.

could you tell me what will it look like

The toe may or may not grow back. It depends on the type procedure used to remove the nail. Sorry I do not have any photos to pass along.
