How To Reduce Soreness On Toe?
My mother has a sore on the end of her toe that won t heal. She is not diabetic. She has been putting antibiotic cream on it but it still won t heal. From time to time her toe gets infected and she goes to a podiatrist for an antibiotic. She does have a hammer toe. What can she do to get this healed? She has gout and was wondering if that could have something to do with it.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms can be related to the gout.
I suggest to check the uric level and take Allopurinol if it is elevated.
I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I also suggest to use an antibiotic cream for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
