I cut my toe,on the side,between the toenail and skin,now it has pus coming out.Should I be worried.Could it get worse?
Answer:
1] soak it in warm soapy water FOUR times a day, and put antibiotic ointment and a bandaid on it in between.
2] if not better by fri AM, go to doctor
3] any 'dirty' cut should be scrubbed out, and have antibiotic ointment at least until a scab forms!
Yes it can get worse. Go see your doc and get some antibiotics for this.
Soak it in hot water with about 3 tablespoons of salt to a gallon.Do this 2 x a day %26 dry it well after each soak %26 put a peice of gauze on it %26 put on a clean white sock.
It will be gone in no time.
An alcohol soaked cloth applied for 30 min 2 or 3 x a day does the trick also.
waaaah run to the dr. step 1: procure alcohol or peroxide and antibiotic cream.
step 2: clean affected area with alcohol/peroxide procured in step 1.
step 3: apply antibiotic cream
step 4: repeat several times per day until healed.optional step 5: apply ice to the area if it becomes swollen and/or painful during treatment.
Yes, take your self to the doc.
One word: infection!
Oh, and another one, just in case you don't go to the doctor: gangrene!
you have an infection. you should wash your feet and soak it in epsom salts and hot water for about 20 minutes three time a day. Or you can go to the doctor and get some antibiotics. I'd try the epsom salts first it's cheaper, And yes it can get worse if not treated.
i would use neosporin or triple antibiotic-yes it can get bad
My mom had the same condition before. She went to the doctor. I don't know what the doc did,(I daren't see!) but i think the doc did make the pus come out of her big toe, so that it wouldn't hurt so much. i must say it really did hurt for her, but after the doc finish doing her work, she appeared to relax a lot. The doc gave her some lotion, antibiotics and all that. Maybe you should go too. I'm sure you will feel better in no time.
