Hi, I always get an infected toe nail on my right foot. This time all the pus didn t drain and it s stuck under the skin on the side of my toe. How do I get it out? It s very red and when my feet get cold it s even more red.it looks like I still have an ingrown toenail but I ve gotten it out.

Hi, welcome to HCM,

your problem is of chronic paronychia.

Keep your nails and nail fold away from detergents and spices.
tab ofloxacin & Ornidazole orally is very effective in controlling Pus.
Apply locally steroid + Antifungal cream twice daily.

Hope this is helpful.
Thanks
