What Does A Lump On The Toe Indicate?
I have a small bump on my toe that had two little black dots under the skin - kept growing bigger... tried compound W for two weeks, but just peeled the skin off. Took a needle and tried to get the two dots out.. closed up but had a small scan... now has thick sticky clear fluid when I opened it. Any idea what this is?

Hi,
A photograph of the bump on your toe would help in providing more details.
For the moment I can only suggest to:
- Bath your feet with warm water mixed with vinegar and baking soda.
- Dry well.
- Apply Zinc Oxide ointment only, avoid using Compound W.
If still no improvement, should consult with a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
