Suggest Treatment For Dark Purple Blister On Toe

I had ingrown toenail surgery on my right foot, they cut a sliver on the left side of my toe.I had that done on the 25 of August.On the 27th i showered and then put my foot in the hibiclens disinfectant that they gave me,when i took my foot out it had a big blister on the cuticle part of my toe.On Monday the 31st i went for a short bike ride and met up with a friend and went for a walk.i was wearing sandals and my foot was wrapped in gauze.when i got home i was going to soak my foot in the disinfectant, when i unwrapped my gauze the blister had been popped.i went ahead and soaked my foot.i felt no pain at all,i didn t feel pain before either and still to this day the 4th of Sept. I do not feel pain.the disinflated blister is dark purple and feels a little hard like dried out.is this bad?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the blister formation after the surgery then it could be due to some inflammation and infection may be the likely condition, in my opinion this need to be managed with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drug, the drug of choice would be. Tab Amoxicillin 500 mg three times in day, Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg" three times in day, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
