The top left corner of my left big toe has been continuously oozing a smelly, brown discharge and there is a lump growing on the edge. It has been painful but it seems to be wearing off since I started soaking it in disinfectant. What is it, is it dangerous and/or what should I do about it? Please help me!!!!!
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely due to ingrown nail and infection. Fungal and bacterial infection can coexist in this. Ointments witChatDoctorbination of Statin+ Aureomycin+ Gramicidin+ Triamcinolone acetone (Pander) for local application after antiseptic wash is helpful. But if swelling persist then incision and Chat Doctor.  You should cut the nails in proper fashion. Don't cut it deeply or so much into edges. Cut only the superficial part. Also keep your toes
