Thanks.
Doc has ruled out rsd as He thinks toe takes time to heal and due to phenol burn it is taking time. I went to 4 docs and 3 of them ruled out rsd . One said possible rsd but I made a mistake of telling him my pain levels too high which is certainly not the case. 3/4 is the pain level that too when I walk too much. Some times I get confused on whether it's burning pain or just toe being too sore. Also I don't have any problems moving my toe. There is swelling and redness. No color or temp change. |

If you are brave, here is a step by step photo sequence of how an
ingrown toenail is fixed using phenol: A Doctor's Notes on Ingrown Toenail Surgery - Health - NAILS Magazine Ingrown Toenail Removal - American Family Physician If you suspect an infection, (there would be warmth and redness if infection were present), then soaking in Epsom salts would open up the tissues' small blood vessels to let in the white blood cells to finish it off. You should try this and also keep your foot elevated as much as possible as this helps to clear minor infections in the foot as well.

Phenol in that concentration mentioned on that first link is 89% and at that high % kills tissue. (that is what happens to the root of your toenail.... obliterated).
89% is highly dangerous. So yes, it can destroy normal tissues if misused.
