Suggest Remedies For A Wound On My Toe Filled With Sticky Fluid

Hi, I injured my middle toe by hitting it on my couch leg last December, it did not break the skin. It became sore and swollen, and appeared to have something in it, so I opened it up and clear sticky fluid came out, and then blood. It continues to heal up and then aggravate again, so I reopen it and the sticky fluid comes out again followed by blood. It hurts when its full. What should I do with that?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that there is recurring abscess formation at the injury site leading to pain and discharge of sticky fluid that is pus..
You should consult a General Physician or a general surgeon and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like Blood sugar levels can help as non healing wounds is a common occurrence in diabetes..
The physician will advise you oral antibiotics and painkillers and clean the wound with an antiseptic solution and advise to apply antimicrobial ointment over it..
Prevent water exposure of the wound..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
