A member asked:

My big toe has some puss coming out of the side buy the toenail. the skin there is puffy and red. it causes minor discomfort. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ingrown toenail: You should see a podiatrist to have the ingrown nail removed. In the mean time you could soak the toe in epsom salts and water, and apply an antibacterial ointment to the area once or twice a day.
