Have Blister On Big Toe Filled With Fluid Of Honey Colour. Is It Cause For Concern?
Question: I have a blister on my big toe caused by a large piece of metal falling on it. The fluid in it is honey color and the blister is quite large. It happened one and a half ago. Should I go to rgent care. My doctor appointment isn' until next Tuesday. Thank you XXXXXXX
Hello,
It is not a much cause for worry as it is quite common to get blisters like that after a trauma.
Honey coloration is due to blood mixed with tissue fluid. However it would be appropriate to go the urgent care clinic / ER and get it drained and dressed with anti biotic ointment.
Take some anti biotics and anti inflammatory medications as advised by the doctor.
Your wound shall heal in next 5 to 7 days.
Wound healing generally gets delayed in case a person has uncontrolled diabetes.
I hope it helps; however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
