I have a pimple like bump on my second toe in between my big toe and the second one. It feels like a pimple and looks like a whitehead or something. How did I get this, how do I get rid of it, and how do I prevent it? Its also in pain, but its not pushing up against any other toes.
You have developed an Infection over the toe called pyoderma . It is basically a bacterial infection . Uou should keep the affected area clean and dry . Wash it with lukewarm water twice a day .. Apply an antibiotic cream like mupirocin or neosporin over it twice daily . You might need oral antibiotics if the infection tends to persist or increase.
