Suggest Treatment For Growth On Toes

Posted on Fri, 29 Jan 2016

Question: pardon me for this picture, but I have no idea what is this thing growing on my toe
it keeps on getting bigger and it hurts
could this be due to a tight shoe or could it be an infection?
and if there is any cream that could help,
thanks in advance.

Brief Answer:
Its due to compression.

Detailed Answer:
It looks like some compression has caused it. Most likely tight shoe. Please try to eliminate the pressure on this area. It should get better. If no improvement in few weeks, it can be removed by a surgeon.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
