Suggest Treatment For Toe Injury
Yes, I smashed my toe the other day from skateboarding & it started bleeding immediately from under my name. It turned purple right away & I couldn t walk on it the first day. It s been 4 days later & it s still purple & juice is now coming out if I put pressure on it. Any advice?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The toe injury can be treated with a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). The purple colour can be because of the ecchymosis or bleeding secondary to injury. The liquid coming out from the wound can be pus secondary to infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a general physician and get it evaluated. I hope i have answered your query. Take care
