Bump On Big Toe Left Foot, With Pus And Swelling, Have Diabetes. Solution?
Diabetic - Big toe left foot had bump start about a year ago and saw my doctor, he wasn t sure what it was. Kept getting bigger and I lanced it with my finger lancet (I know, should not do and was eventually scolded by my doctor) Anyway, a clear pus kept coming out but my toe felt better and sweling went down. I did this a couple of times over 2-3 month period and then it went away. Last week started again.... large toe getting swollen and includes joint between foot and toe. I can still bend my toe but compared to right foot, is noticeably larger.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are diabetic, having problem with your toe is a thing to be worried.
You should rule out diabetic foot.
Keep your diabetes under strict control.
Consult Diabetic foot specialist and get examined.
Strictly follow his advice and his treatment.
Ok and bye.
