What Leads To Pus Formation In Toes?
My toe nails turned green, oozing on the tops of my toes, very painful. Socks were even green. I have soaked them today in salt water, and put some topical cream on and it seems to be working, pain has let up, letting my foot breath and keeping it elevated.

I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
This has to be ingrowing toe nail with infection.
If I was your treating doctor, I would have prescribed you as follows,
1. clean with antiseptic lotion .
2.apply antibiotic cream.
3.oral broad spectrum antibiotics
4.anti inflammatory analgesic.
You are doing right by keeping the foot elevated.
Hope you have answer to your query, if any thing else you are welcome.
