A member asked:

I took care of what i believe to be an ingrown toenail by myself a few days ago. my toe became red, swollen, and now there is pus. what should i do?

Ingrown toenail: Use warm compresses and ice for 20 mins a piece. 20 mins warm. 20 mins ice. You will likely need An antibiotic and someone to fix the ingrown toenail. A podiatrist would be a good choice or ask you family doctor if they can help you . You maybe able to get an antibiotic by calling your doctor on call this weekend. Good luck and feel better!
