How Can I Get Rid Of The Growth Between Skin And Toe Nail And Clear Fluid Coming From The Toe?

Hello, I have been having problems with my toe for abt 2 weeks now. It all started when I noticed there was clear reddish fluid coming from it. (No pain) so I decided to run water over it and put some peroxide on it to clean it. Now there is a growth coming from inbetween my skin and toe nail... How do I get rid of this? The growth is red and it's round shaped. Still have the same liquid coming from my toe.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your description, you seem to having something called as a pyogenic granuloma. It is a small benign growth which usually occurs in response to an infection. You may need a course of oral antibiotics like cloxacillin or cephalexin for 5-7 days. If it does not resolve with antibiotics alone, you may need to get it cauterised by a dermatologist.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
