Question

infection


Sent to Health Experts September 26, 2006 3:54 p.m.

I pulled a hang nail in my big toe and now I think it is infected. The sore has become swelled and has puss beneath it. I have been putting peroxide on it and have gone to the doctor for it twice, but they keep telling me to continue to do what I'm doing. I was wondering if there was anything else I could use to help it heal faster??
thank you, Danielle

Do you have any redness that has spread?

Any pain at all?

What color is the pus?
