What Is The Solution For Toe Sores?
My toe got sore on the top so I thought it was arthritus which I get in my fingers. The joint was sore. I then noticed it was just one area just above the nail that was sore. Not the nail, the nail is fine. I thought it might be a corn as the sore area is about the size of a corn but then when I pressed it some very clear, thick sticky fluid came out. I dressed it and put a plaster on it. It seemed to get better but today it feels sore again and there appears to be more fluid on it. Any idea what this is.

Hi,
It might be infected toe skin at joint level. I advise to :
- keep the affected area well clean
- wash with warm water and mild soap
- dry it well
- apply iodine 10%
- apply oxygenated water
- cover with medicated plaster
If no improvement within a few days, should consult with your doctor for any further specific treatment.
All the best!
