What is this green stuff coming out of the side of my toe?

Question

so i recently got a pedicure, and my mom freaked me out by saying that u can get an infection cuz they use the same tools on everyone. the day after the side of my toe started to hurt when i put pressure on it. i thought it was an ingrown nail, so i tried to cut it and a small of green stuff came out... wat is it?!?

should i be worried?

Answer 1

That is what you call PUS or ABSCESS. Yes, it is caused by bacterial infection, the tools used on you might not be properly cleaned or hygienically stored. You have nothing much to worry about, just treat it with regular wound cleaners/antiseptic. Do not use tight or closed shoes for a while unless they are competely healed. If it gets worse, visit a doctor for properly administered meds/ antibiotics.

Answer 2

Yes worry, normal people's toes don't excrete green stuff so go see a doctor or something or yank it out... It isn't healthy.
