Can I Treat My Foot At Home By Squeezing Pus From Between Index And Middle Toe?

i ve had trouble with athletes foot for some time, because my lifestyle calls for boots to be worn daily. that being said, i recently noticed my foot becoming excessively sore, and swelling. thinking back recalled my large breed dog (140lb) had stepped on my foot while wearing slippers, n brushed off the pain. last night while examining the foot, i squeezed less than 1/2 teaspoon of puss (estimated) from between what would be index and middle toe. can this be treated at home?

Hi,
from history it seems that due to having fungal infection in foot there might be having bacterial infection giving rise this problem.
clean the part with antiseptic lotion and dressed with antibiotic cream.
Gofor one oral antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Afterwards go for oral anti-fungal medicine course.
Ok and take care.
