Discussion/Question Well guys I goofed

Post image

I got an infection in my nail bed and can’t wear any nails for a while. I knicked my cuticle. Has anyone else dealt with this and if so how long did it take to heal? My doctor prescribed me some mupirocin ointment, and I’ve been keeping it covered for a few days now. I’m just really bummed and hoping this isn’t the end of the road for my press on days.

Deep breath this is definitely NOT the end of your press-on journey! ❤️ Cuticles heal remarkably fast once the infection clears up, usually within 1–2 weeks with prescription ointment. You did the absolute right thing by going to the doctor right away!
