What Causes Pus Drainage Post Removal Of A Toe Nail?

I have ostimolitis in right big toe, I m not diabetic. Dr opened up my toe and cleaned out infection and put antibiotics and a cement type in toe to replace the void of bone loss. I had a massive blister from the top of my toe to the split between toes. I had 5 stitches. It popped before I saw it. A new blister is arising close to the top and puss coming up from where the toe nail was removed. I can provide pics . Dr appt not till next week. Should I worry

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. If your doctor is not available at the moment then you would need to see if you can be assessed by another.

Based on the history mentioned, the area appears to be re infected and it needs treatment.

I hope this helps
