Infected toe ?

Question

I had an infected toe about a month ago but i stopped taking my tablets when i thought it had cleared.

I have had pain in it again and today i pushed the skin and white puss came out.

Is there any way i can clear it with out seeing the doctor?

Will hot salty water help?

Answer 1

shame shame, you should have completed the antibiotics.  Soak it in warm water to draw out the pus. Or hot salt water, just don't burn your foot.  Clean it with hydrogen peroxide.  keep it dry and clean.  I would call the Doctor for a refill of the antibiotics and take them as prescribed and finish them this time.  :)
