Suggest Treatment For Pus Filled Lump On Big Toe
I have a puss lump on my big toe. It is on the top and little in the side. When it first started hurting i thought it was an ingrown toe nail but it is not where u get the ingrown toe nails. The infection gets bad enough to cover the whole side of my toe and i can put triple antibodic on it and a bandaid on it and the soreness will be almost gone except where the lump is, it dont get any worse as long as i keep a bandaid on it. The last time the infection got bad it caused a open sore on top if the lump but i cant get the lunp to go away. I have no insurance and no job right not so going to a dr is out of the question. Please help. This has been going on for about 2 months now. Email is YYYY@YYYY . Ty

Hi,
It seems that there might be having nail bed toe infection giving this problem.
Go for one antibiotic medicine amoxicilin course for 3-5 days to control infection.
Clean the part properly and dress it antibiotic cream.
Change the dressing daily.
Ok and take care.
