the short answer is: no. you should not soak or immerse the toe in water for several days (probably at least 10 days but follow your surgeon's instructions) until it has sufficiently healed. immersing the toe in water too early can lead to infection. after all you've gone through in having the toenail removed the last thing you want to deal with is an infected toe! you should have received printed post-operative care instructions from your surgeon. if you did not call his or her office and request to pick up a copy. every patient should receive written wound care instructions after surgery regardless of the procedure that was performed. if you have any questions about how to care for your toe please contact your surgeon's office. i wish you all the best!
can you take a bath after having an ingrown toenail removed two days ago?
