Does Swollen And Red Toe Indicate An Infection?
I have 3 blisters that opened between my big toe and the toe beside it..i soaked my foot in warm salt water and cleaned it with peroxide and put antibotic ointment on but the ointment runs right off because the toe is so hot, the toe is also really swollen and red and im in alot of pain. Is it infected?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having acute bacterial infection causing severe pain and swelling of toes.
Apart from local dressing you might require one course of antibiotic medicine like Amoxicilin and anti-inflammatory medicine.
Ok and take care.
