In March 2017 I had a partial toe nail and matrix removal because the inner top (curricula corner) I had an excess buildup of skin growing outward and causing light pain. Post op care was easy and painless without any issues and further healing was easy and I was careful not to wear heels or tight fitting shoes in the tie area. Now in mid August I’ve been noticing that the same problem has been coming back: the uber top corner at the side and cuticle has been swelling and building up. I’ve not gotten to the salon, have not painted my toenails, nothing since the operation. So I’m curious what the problem could be if the original issue is coming back! Could it be a deep rooted issue with healing and it could be infected? Any ideas? The photo attached showed the issue taken one week between photos with the right being the most current.
