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.

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.
