Resolved Question: how does toenail fungus breakthrough relate to science?

Last Monday I had an ingrown toenail that was very thick with fungus taken out by a podiatrist. He shot it with something so that it wouldn't grow back cuz it would just get ingrown again. That was *my* decision. The deal is, is that for the 1st week after it was done I'm supposed to soak it in Epsom salts 2x per day for 15 min at a time, and then use a triple antibiotic on it and then just put a bandaid over it.My question is, what do I do then? Do I just use the antibiotic and no bandaid, or do nothing to let it dry out a bit. He said that it might "oooze" for up to a month! I don't really want to call his office to ask what to do so I thought I'd run it by you folks first and see what you think. This sucker is still so raw that I can't imagine just going w/o a bandaid, and if I DO put a bandaid on it w/o the ointment, it will stick. If I keep doing what I'm doing, it will NEVER heal. HELP PLEASE! :-(
Resolved Question: Why are my toenails green?

Ok... before i start i know this is disgusting and I'm very ashamed of it, that's why I'm asking on here, to see if someone can help. Well it all started when i was about 15. I had a pair of K-Swiss Tongue Twister trainers and one day i was putting them on when the tongue got stuck in the trainer so i tried to pull the tongue out with my foot still in the trainer and it took my nail off. The regrowth turned a funny greeny yellow (more deep green, but some parts yellow) colour and looked thick and layered. I thought this was fungal so i went to my GP, who agreed that it was probably the case but advised me to take some nail clippings so they could be tested to confirm that it was fungal so she could give me treatment. I did this on two occasions, but both times the tests came back clear, it meant that i couldn't be treated and i was very confused. Fed up with the unsightly, disgusting nail, I eventually pulled it off, but not all the way because of the pain. With fear of it becoming infected, I went to the hospital to get it pulled off completely. I explained to the doctor that tests had come back clear and he told me that it was not fungal and the reason it was like that was because the nail was damaged. Anyway, with the nail now gone, I was expecting the regrowth to be healthy. It was healthy, but now has a yellowish tint and instead the big toe nail on the other foot ended up the same (Deep green, yellowish). Why on one foot and now the other?? Today, I pulled the nail that was green off, like the last time but have managed to get it off completely this time. It was painful, but it's better than having horrid nails and wasting my time getting them tested just for them to come back clear again. I'm so ashamed of it!. With any luck it will grow back healthy. Does anyone know why this is happening???Thank you. (And please, no stupid answers!)
No advertisements please. I want to hear your personal knowledge.

When I cut my toe nails, the clippings are yellow. It's weird because my toenails aren't yellow. They're pink and white like normal nails are supposed to be. Could something be wrong?
Resolved Question: What is wrong with my toe?

Yahoo won't let me post a link to a picture of my toe, I'll try to add it later.Description: Toenail is clearly a tinge yellow compared to other toes, right side is messy with blood and some type of pus, it crusts over on a daily basis. Toe is slightly swollen and a tinge of pink around the toenail.My toe has been looking somewhat like this for about a year, but in the past few months it has gotten quite a bit worse. It's very sore if it gets hit by anything, but I can go through the day normally without any pain, including running. If it gets hit, even by a sock, it's the type of pain when you stub your toe, really sharp, but goes away after a minute or so.My other foot's big toe had this same issue for awhile, but it wasn't as severe and it went away. I'm looking for advice to help get rid of this without having to go to the doctor.Here is a pic of my toe:http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m210/kingaustin24/Cats/Aug_23_2010_9509.jpgMack: I just graduated from college and my new job has me working 8-6 in a small town, everything is closed by the time I'm off work. I'm covered by health insurance but they still want to charge an arm and a leg each visit, so I've just been dealing with it hoping it would go away like the other one did.
