“I have a toenail post-ingrown nail granulation and toenail fungus?”
My 8 year old's right big toe started in July with pain, swelling, redness, and an ingrown toenail on the right side of the right big toe. I had cut the nail at side to remove ingrown, it felt better but got worse after two days. The left big toe started up in August due to a nail split at corners and healed but happened again in October. We're now at the 5th month of home treatment for both toes with all-natural remedies ie acv/salt/vinegar soaks, acv/essential oil dressings, and trimming nail as often as it grows out. After daily 1x soak, I dry them, apply essential oils, and cover with foam dressing and gauze. It's getting better day by day, but some days have more granulation.
NOTE:
We DO NOT want any PNA or surgery etc., my son has keloids and is perfectly healthy.
QUESTIONS:
Are the granulations normal? How do I get rid of them faster? How should I dress them?

Sorry, at this point you need to see a Podiatrist because will be the best treatment for your son.
I would consult a pediatrician if I were you. Topical or oral antibiotics might decrease inflammation and promote healing.
