Actually, the worst part was about a week later. The tissue in my thumb
was healing into a big lumpy mass, and the doctor decided that liquid
nitrogen was the way to get rid of it. Tears to the eyes stuff, that is!

Mine healed very nicely; antibiotics right away, and the nail was clean,
unlike your blade.

I have experienced the LN, for big warts when I was a kid. They would kill
the flesh, and turn it black, then it would form a scab and fall off. I
hated that doctor.
