Is It Normal To Have Bleeding And Pussing Again After An Infection Being Treated On The Toenail?
I had the procedure back on January 3rd to remove an ingrown toenail. I ended up getting an infection a week later and was put on an antibiotic for ten days. For the past 3 days it started bleeding, draining and pussing again. Is this another infection over a month later? or is this normal?

Welcome to HCM.
Recurrent infection indicates incomplete treatment,incomplete removal of ingrowing nail or might be resistant infection for given antibiotic.
Take proper local care.
Clean it properly with anti septic liquid and start to apply metrogyl and fusidic acid cream.
Get examined by your doctor for further guidance.
