Question 1

ioc i have puss in my toe what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Ingrown toenail: An ingrown toenail is a common condition that causes pain and often leads to infection. It is caused by the toenail growing into the skin rather than on top of it. This may be caused by improper clipping of the toenails. A trip to the doctor can evaluate this and set a proper course of action and it maybe be able to be avoided in the future.

Question 5

i have a small lump on my toe almost for 3 months now that is painful only when pressed hard. the lump is now hard with hardened puss.

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. What you described suggests a callous or a corn due to ill fitting shoes. You may try over the counter pads for treating corn.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 6

why is there green puss coming out the connor of my big toe? there is green puss coming out the connor of my big toe. it hurts like i stubbed it. what is wrong with it?

Accepted Answer

You : You probably have an infected ingrown toenail.  You'll need the little piece of nail that's stuck in your skin removed and go on antibiotics for a week or so.  The procedure to remove the piece of nail is quick, easy, simple and painless, and there is no pain afterward.  The longer you take to go and get this fixed, the longer you'll be in pain.  Do yourself a favor and visit your friendly podiatrist.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Treatment will vary depending on the location and extent of your toe lesion.  Given the fact that it is painful and producing fluid you may need antibiotics.  See a doctor as soon as possible for a proper evaluation.

Question 8

i have what i think is a hard corn on my pinky toe not totally sure, but i've had it for about 2 months and it's starting to hurt so today when i got out the shower i squeezed it and blood/puss came out.  will it heal by itself or should i see a dr?

Accepted Answer

Corn? Wart? Other?: Calluses and corns form naturally to protect areas of skin where there is repeated pressure or frequent friction. Corns and calluses are thickened dead skin material. Corns hurt when they grow bigger and start pressing into the deeper parts of the foot (especially if the corn is on the bottom of the foot). A doctor should examine the bump and see if it could be a wart, which is due to a virus.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

The reason: There is puss is you have an infection. I suggest you see a podiatrist.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

INFECTION: See podiatrist and get immediate medical attention. If left untreated, this will only get worse and may even eventually go to the bone.
