Medium soft inner lump / abscess on the left big toe for about three months now. become larger with time. light blue color. doesnt hurt. what is it?

Dr. Lee Stein answered

Hard to tell: It doesn't sound like an abcess. Either way you should be seen by a podiatrist. Any lump that becomes larger with time can be cause for concern. Hard to say without seeing it. It could be a cyst, a skin lesion, a vascular growth, infection. Get seen.
