Leave it up to the doctor to decide whether you'll be able to play basketball or not.





In the future, when you feel like you are getting an ingrown toenail, try this: soak the affected foot in warm water with Epsom salts for 20 minutes or so. Pat the skin dry and ball up a small piece of cotton or rayon (like from a Q-tip) and soak it in rubbing alcohol. Lift the corner of the ingrown nail up and out of the skin where it is digging in, and push the alchol soaked cotton underneath it to keep it lifted. Use an antibiotic ointment on the toe and cover it loosely with a bandage overnight. This will relieve the pressure and make the edge of the nail accesible for trimming - but make sure you sanitize the nail clipper or whatever you use to trim the nail.Ingrown toenail???!!!!!?
