What Causes Throbbing Pain In The Toe?
I,stubbed my toe a week ago and it hurt and throbbed. I noticed that it looked like the nail was coming off at the top so I want to clean underneath and when I did it started to ooze and now there is a whole that I can see where there was an access. I have some antibiotics to take but what else do I need to do?

Hello,
You can send me a photo of the toe and I can give you a more accurate opinion how to cure it. You can take antibiotics orally but using ictiol may also be necessary to treat it. If it doesn't get better you may need to go to surgeon to open and clean wound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
