question: hi i have a sore toe that is red and swollen if anything touches it, it throbs and really is painful, its been bleeding and also had yellow puss coming out of it. its hurting at the skin next to the side of the nail but its traveled upwards to all around ones side. i believe i had an ingrowing toe nail which i removed and now its become infected. i just want to know if there is any way i cant treat it at home or just go to the chemist and pick something up as the weather where i live makes it near enough impossible to leave the house to go to the doctors plus i have just had a baby he is now 11weeks old and dont want to take him out. thank you steph.
