What Causes Swollen/red Toe While Having Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma?

My husband has recently been diagnosed with Lymphoplasmocytoid Lymphoma. He has not yet had the ct scan results to see if it has spread. He is 76 years old and we are waiting to hear if he needs treatment. Probably low doses chemo in tablet form. He has developed a swollen big toe that had a scab next to the nail and he pulled it off. The toe is very red and flaky, is it something to do with the above or can I go ahead and buy cream for athletes foot - it is not itching

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your husband has lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. He should take chemotherapy for that according to stage. His toe is swollen and red but it has no relation with his lymphoma. He should take analgesic plus anti inflammtory drug for that. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
