Suggest Remedies For Dark Colored Pus Filled Lump On My Foot

Hello. I m a 15 year old female and a few days ago, I noticed that I have a dark colored, pus-filled lump on the right side of my big toe. It is not painful, but it can get to be a little uncomfortable to the touch. The pus is slowly but surely draining from the lump though. Should i still get this looked at, or should i just let the pus drain completely on it own???

Hi
Welcome to health care magic

It seems from the history that you are having pus filled abscess on the foot. I will treat these kind of infections by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. If the condition does not show improvement incision and drainage is required.
Do consult your doctor for examination and appropriate treatment.
