Any advice (picture included)

I’ve been panicking about a cut on my foot and also have an ingrown toenail that’s sore I’m on Doxycycline antibiotics currently and spoke to a doctor yesterday who said everything sounded fine just to keep an eye on the skin around the areas but I’m scared still any tips how to calm down and does the rest of my skin look a normal colour
ps the end of the big toe has been red for a few days and the nail has always been yellow but does everything thing else look ok

What do you think? I see a band aid. That’s it. If you had an infection, you would feel it as in being swollen, red, hot to the touch and painful. I see nothing around the band aid and no sign of swelling from your picture.

Sounds like you have s trusted doctor helping you navigate this.

can you do an activity that will distract you from thinking about your foot?

Yeah I just keep worrying every time I change it worrying I might not have cleaned it properly or something I keep overthinking all the time it’s so hard
