What Causes Swelling And Numbness On The Toes After Desyndactylization?

Hi, I had a Desyndactylization done on October 14. I am now having to put some Antibiotic ointment and Mineral Oil between the toes. It is oozing yellow goo. My 2nd and 3rd toes are reddish,swollen, and numb. I have a rash on the arch of my foot. I went in to emergency last night because of the swelling and posing... The Dr let me know he had no experience with this. He took a culture and said it would take two days for results... He said no red flags... No fever, no Oder. So here I am and with the swelling and redness getting worse. Never having a skin graft before I ve gone in to the Dr s as a walk in on Monday . Looking at the photo that looked great compare to now... but that s when we stoped gausing it and went to ointment... I have nothing as a measuring stick. Any advice... I don t want to be a bother to my Dr if this is the normal healing process. Thank you for your time.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It is due to local inflammatory reaction. As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
