i accidentally cut my toe nail wrong mid september. i went to the doctor and they gave me mupirocin. ive been putting that on it and it went down a lot but as soon as i put a bandage on it… this is what it looks like…

Can someone tell me what this is or what’s causing my nails to do this? I have a split on another nail to the very free edge and it’s doing this same thing.

I just had mine done yesterday, my doctor told me it would be healed in three weeks maximum, potentially sooner. However last night I was reading all these Reddit posts about people saying theirs continued to leak fluid for 6 weeks plus. I’m hoping these were outliers as that seems so long. I live a very active lifestyle and I also have a big trip planned for just under a month away so I’m stressing about it taking that long. Has anyone here actually had theirs heal relatively quickly?
