Answer 7

my brother just had that problem, it was an ingrown tonail. my mother soaked his foot in epsom salt too. his foot wasnt getting any better so the doctor sugest cutting a "V" shap in his tonail to relieve the pressure, try that first. but my brother was to lazy to do that so he had to go in and have a simple surgery that made him not be able to get an in grown tonail anymore.  

Answer 8

Its infected. Your doctor will prescribe you either something orally or topically.

Do see one... infections can get serious.

Answer 9

It's infected, you probably need antibiotics.  Go to the doctor. PLEASE.

Answer 10

This is a situation that needs medical attention, not home remedies. You risk amputation of your toe if you ignore it too long.

Answer 11

That just means it's cleaning itself. Just keep it clean and it should heal pretty soon.

Answer 12

omg. that doesnt sound good. you should go check it out, and have a doctor remove it for you, it seems like it has infected pretty badly .... hope ur ok soon.

Answer 13

This is most likely a sign of infection and immediate medical attention should be sought. The infection could be located under the skin therefore the saltwater has no contact to clean the infected area.

Answer 14

No thats what I call dinner!
