What Are The Possible Treatments For Pus In The Toe Nail ?
Hi. So my left big toe is in enormous pain. It is throbbing and had yellow sticky discharge coming from it. I believe there is a hole between the skin and my nail and i feel so my pain when touching it to look. I has tried getting the yellow stuff out but don't know how. If I don't touch it for the day the yellow stuff hardens and is hard to get off. Even when I do t touch it my toe hurts so badly. I was hoping you could tell me what is wrong with my toe and how to make the pain and yellow goo go away.

Dear Madam,
I think you will need to see a surgeon for this as it is to be seen whether it will require drainage or not plus a course of antibiotics is highly recommended
