What Does A Blister On The Bottom Of The Toe Indicate?
I have a sore on the bottom of my toe. I believe i have scrapped it on the bottom of a pool. Currently i have applied iodine and will be putting polysporin with a band aid overnight. I am diabetic and understand the complications...however...i do feel the pain. There is yellow or white in the middle with red around. Any thoughts?

Hello,
From the description in the query, it looks like a bacterial infection.
I suggest cleaning the area thoroughly with hydrogen peroxide and iodine.
I also suggest to use an antibiotic cream for local application and cover it with a clean bandage.
If the symptoms continue, you should go to your GP for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
