What Could An Infected Middle Toe With Swelling And Fluid Indicate?
My son has an infected middle toe. Its swollen with bubble water around it. He complained about it on our last day of vacation. He said it was a stung, the time it looked like red, swollen. We thought it was just a bruise from his sneaker. What could have cause this? And what is there to do?

HI
Well come to HCM
Infective lesion may be likely and this need to be treated accordingly, if this is full of puss then this need to be drained, anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic would be necessary to eradicate the infection, in my opinion better to see the surgeon, because wound may need some surgical intervention, take care, have a nice day.
