It is never good to agitate any wound, infected or not, therefore, I would avoid doing this. However, if it is wet, or has pus, a gentle squeeze might encourage it all to come out.

How do you heal a toe infection?

If you have a toe infection you should talk to your doctor...


Can an infection in toe cause it to eat bone dog?

An infection known as osteomyelitis can eat away at the bone of the dog. It can be contracted through the toe or any other part of the body. This occurs when the infection enters through an open wound.


If you broke your toe and left it untreated could it cause infection throughout your entire body like having intense cranial pressure that feels like a sinus infection with no infection present?

Broken toes are usually very minor injuries and there are usually very few complications. If you break your toe and leave it untreated, it usually cannot cause infection throughout your entire body. However, open or compound toe fractures have the potential to cause infection because there is a break in the skin and the bone is exposed. Open toe fractures must be treated to prevent infection and can only be treated by a physician using antibiotics and surgery. If you have an open toe fracture or are worried about the possibility of infection, you need to see a physician as soon as possible.

I got a toe infection not to long ago at first i thought it was just a stubbed toe pain but it lasted a bit longer i checked it out very carfully and i noticed puss recently i am diabetic what now?

Firstly, you should see your GP/family doctor, who (given your medical history) should prescribe you oral antibiotics to combat the infection. They may also give you a peroxide solution to soak the toe in, until the infection has cleared.In the meantime, make sure there is no bits of toenail actively digging into your toe, exacerbating the infection. Gently file any rough edges of the nail which may be digging into your toe. Also, keep soaking the toe in saline water (500ml warm water, as hot as you can tolerate, with 2 tsp salt) as frequently as you can. This should aid healing.

When should your big toe be green?

0.o...never. You might wanna check to see if that is a gangrene infection. But it could just be a bruise from stubbing your toe. See a doctor ASAP.


How much money ask for ...loss big toe?

i have NO IDEA WHAT YOU R SAYING ok so brb


You smashed your toe about 3 weeks ago and now the toenail is still attached but raised up and now its discolored and smells?

No I didn't. But if this is how you ask a question then it is generally recommended that you go to the doctor to have him/her look at it. Chances are you have an infection under the toe nail or just in your toe. Leaving this kind of injury to "heal on it's own" might seem possible, but such an infection could lead to blood poisoning. This was the same case for Jack Daniel, the famous Tennessee whiskey distiller. Legend is he kicked his safe in frustration one day, got an infection in his toe which gave him blood poisoning, which ultimately lead to his death in 1911.
