Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Blisters On Toe
I spent over 12 hours walking at an event and developed large blisters on my small toe. They popped during all the walking. The entire toe is now swollen so bad it hurts from the pressure and the skin is turing black and the open sores are oozing. Any way to reduce swelling and why toe is turning black?

After the blisters popped bacteria can infect the area. It will start to ooze. Needs treatment with local antibiotic. If the whole finger is turning black you can see a doctor. If only the fallen skin of the blister that probably i'd keep an eye on it.
