Suggest Remedy For Blisters On Toe With Swelling

Hello, well 3 days ago I had pain in between the middle of my pinky toe, and I thought it was nothing until I noticed that the middle of my pinky toe turned white, like a blister but it s not a blister. As days passed by it would hurt to walk on my pinky toe and once I lift my foot, a lot of pain accrues on the pinky toe, and now it swollen. I m just wondering what it can be and what I can do to heal it. Please and thank you! (:

I think you might be having infection of the nail bed and it is causing you pain. This condition is called paronychia and it happens when nail bed get injured and blood get collected under this and then pain starts.
You would need antibiotics like Amoxycillin for five days and if there is any blister is present, and pus pointing is present then you will need a minor surgical procedure where a incision is applied over blister and all infected granulated tissue is drained out.
