Partial Matrixechtomy + phenol = owch!
Hi guys, my toenail grew out real long and got slightly infected, so I went to get it removed. I’m 25 and still learning how to talk to doctors, so when the dr. mentioned removing my root with a chemical, I just assumed that was my best option and said ok. But I have type 1 diabetes, and although my blood flow seems good, I’m now terrified my foot is gonna fall off lol. 🫠
Has anyone else had their skin slough off like this from this phenol use?! I feel like an escaped Outlast patient.
