Suggest Remedy For Swelling And Bleeding From A Sore Toe
I had a soar toe and it was swollen and then one day started to bleed. When I applied pressure something came out from under my toe nail that looked like a tiny grub? What could this have been and what do I do with my toe now? Soak it, put antibiotic ointment on it?

Hi thanks for asking question in HCM.
here according to history it is most likely that you have ingrown toenail.
Here is some suggestion for you.Start treatment at home as follow.
Sock your toe in warm water for 4 to 5 times a day.
Cotton ball that is soked in oil used to separate toe nail edge from skin.
For pain relief take simple analgesic.
To prevent infection apply topical antibiotic over affected area.
If still you not get relief then surical treatment needed.sometime partial nail removed.
I hope my suggestion will definitely help you.
thanks
