I've had an infected toe for 3 weeks now, and i'm in excruciating pain. i haven't went to a doctor yet, what happens if left untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not smart: See foot doctor get treated and placed on antibiotic. If left untreated your bone can get infected. You don't want that to happen.
