Dr Andy,
I don’t think you needed to indicate which toe…:)
Your feet look as though they’ve had a hard life !

Ouch, Last year I had one of those on my thumb after slamming it in my car door.
I was surprised at my doctor’s treatment for it. She took an 18g needle and twisted it gently through the nail to desanguinate it.
When I got home I noticed a pocket still there so I got out my nursing school supplies and did it again in another spot. Worked like a charm, but my nail fell off.
Awesome blog Doc!
