I play basketball and i had this brown/black bump on the side of my big toe (on both feet) and it wasnt going away. I thought it was a bruise but it didnt hurt... So i took a pair of scissors and just cut it a little bit and brown juice came out. It was disgusting. Ew. So what is happening :(

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi I am doctor Fahim and I will help you with your queries

The most common on the side of big toe is IGTN which is In Growing Toe Nail. It is most common in sportsman with tight shoe wear because of the continuous pressure on side of big toe. If usually gets infected and inflammation causes pain and swelling, leading to pus formation. The one uncommon thing in your case is that i doesn't hurts. you need to visit a general surgeon who after examining, may diagnose it as IGTN. A simple procedure called a wedge resection is its treatment under local anesthesia.
