Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Pseudomonas is bacterial infection which should be treated by proper antibiotics, herbal products cannot cure the disease. Herbal products only helps to boost up the immunity but it cannot cure bacterial infection like pseudomonas.

You need to test the discharge coming out of the big toe to confirm the causative agent and then you can take proper antibiotics for the treatment. If it is pseudomonas infection your doctor may prescribe antibiotics like beta-lactam antibiotic and aminoglycoside like gentamicin and amikacin.
Thank you.
