Itching is normal. It means its healing! Don't worry, you are fine!Iv had an ingrowing toe nail removed and its gone all?????
Yes, itchy is a sign of healing. The small incision they made (most likely with a laser) is now healing over the part of your toe nail that is still there. When an ingrown toe nail is removed, what they are actually doing is killing the part of the nail bed that the edges of the nail grows from. As it heals like with most deep cuts, it will get itchy. As long as it is clean with no discharge you should be fine. If you are still concerned you should contact your doctor to make sure that all is well. Good luck, Im sure your toe will feel much better soon.
