What Causes Black Scar Along With Oozing Bad Odour Fluid From Toe?

Good morning.. I have been having applied pressure for quite some time on my big toe from wearing tight shoes and then a black scar appeared on it... then there is the oozing of smelly fluid now from the toe. I have been applied hot water to heal it but it still oozes out. What do I do? Thank you

Hello,

Black scar on big toe could be due to pressure caused by tight shoes. It could be due to hematoma formation.

I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and thus management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
