 Hello, after suffering from an ingrown toenail, I removed the offending piece of nail with a pair of sterile scissors and have been using an iodine solution to prevent the infection from reoccurring. However, shortly after removing the nail I have developed a brown spot on the skin surrounding the nail. It doesn't cause any pain when I touch it but I was wondering if I should see a doctor regarding this development? I would be most grateful if you could tell me any information regarding this issue.

 Hi Daniel,
I would advise you to see your doctor for a direct examination. This may or may not be related to the ingrown toe nail. I'm not sure exactly what it is based on your description and the picture. A direct exam should be able to give you a better idea.
Best wishes.
