This is pretty gross!
Last night in the shower, I looked at my left big toe and thought it looked kind of swollen on the side beside the nail. I forgot to look at it after, so I forgot about it until this morning. Where it was swollen, it was also pale green and had some red (swollen area) around it!
So I grabbed a pair of nail clippers and pinched the green area and all of this greenish-yellow pus came out.
I put some Polysporin on it, and then I realized it had a red streak coming from the wound. The line is about an inch long. This happened around 11:30 this morning but the line hasn't moved at all. So hopefully it won't spread and will be gone by morning.
Pretty gross! I can't remember having a green limb or digit before.
Anyway, what else should I do to try and make it heal quicker? This has happened twice before. The first time I went to the doctor and the second time I put Polysporin on it and soaked it in epsom salts and it went away the next day.
