What To Do For Ingrown Toe Nail That Bleeds?

Hi my son had an ingrown toe nail on his left toe. We has partially removed it and it was cauterized. He still has problems with his toe bleeding and I went back to the podiatrist and he said there is no nail in there and it should be fine. It s been almost a year and my son s toe still bleeds and pusses.
