What Causes Sore And Pus Filled Bump On Toe?

I have a red bump on my toe next to my toe nail. It at first just looked like a sore you get when you get a sticker in your toe. But it is getting worse and sometimes oozes a clear thick pus. Now it is sore to the touch. What could it be. I know there s no sticker in it.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi dear,
This indicates soft tissue infection with abscess formation. Needs early treatment with drainage of pus and antibiotics for few days.
Kindly see your doctor for the same without delay.
Meanwhile you can take simple analgesic for pain relief.

Wishing you a faster cure.
Thank you.
