Sure, it depends on what bacteria is causing it, if you've been picking at it, etc. Since it has lasted this long, you should see your doctor. |

i never picked at it, so can a single ingrown toenail hair last a few weeks only because of the type of bacteria causing it? |
||
|
||
|
Possibly. Why don't you go get this checked since you are obviously concerned? |
||
|
||
|
by 'possibly' do you mean it's fairly commonCommon cold or rare or almost unheard of to last that long? i'll get tested in a few months but for now, if you don't mind, can you answer that? thank you. |

It means that yes, it could happen. Folliculitis isn't an std, so I don't know all the specifics on it. |

|
can an ingrown hair infected by the bacteria staphylococcus aureus last for a few weeks (3 weeks or more)? |
||
|
||
|
Yes |
||
|
||
|
sorry i don't mean to be a nuisance but it can last that long even without picking at it, right? |
||
|
||
|
Yes. Staph can last awhile, especially if you aren't treating it. See your doctor, hon. That's the only way you'll know what you have going on. |
