Taking adequate magnesium containing foods or supplements often stop these temporary reddening episodes.

Dr. Jay Cohen MD had this and fixed his own with magnesium.

Also I wonder what antibiotics you used when you had your infections in the toes? Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin? These drugs can cause nerve damage. Flagyl (metronidazole) and Zyvox also cause nerve damage. |
Hi there thanks very much for your input. I will definitely look into Erythromelalgia - not something that's been suggested yet.
The antibiotics I had were Flucloxacillin, taken for two weeks. I had them years ago for another problem and had a surgery after taking them on my lower back and that didn't cause any problems.
I was thinking it may have been the anaesthetic injections I had prior to the nail surgery. I had three in each toe, but not sure if that may have also caused nerve damage.
