What Causes Yellow Pus On The Corner Of Toe?
Hi, My son has yellow puss on the corner of his big toe, under the skin to the side of the nail on his right foot. The nail dropped off (was black for months) and a new nail has grown underneath however there is now puss near the top right hand corner of the toe and the skin is red around it.

You need to get medical attention and you must be started on antibiotics and anti inflammatory. Proper dressing and wound cleaning is advised.Thanks.
Let me know how it goes.
