Advice if I should have it removed please
So my big toe basically has no nail bed except a bit in the back right before the nail comes out of the skin.
It has gotten this way bc a doctor once removed most of my nail bc it was brown from a fungal infection. He said it would be fine afterwards - but it wasnt as the nailbed just disappeared.
The nail did grow back but very thick.
I had no problems since, nothing except the nail was thick and grew layered.
This weekend I had an accident and it did get ripped out of the nailbed partly. The white part got pulled out. It did bleed but it gets better. The thing is the nail is broken already and possibly fungal infected.
The surgeon said he wants to remove the whole nail and then do a nail bed reconstruction.
I am beyond terrified!
I don't handle injections well at all. I gave birth twice naturally bc I'm so scared of syringes and having to be put under.
Can anybody tell me if I can just keep the nail as it is and wait for it to grow out?
