What Does A Pus Filled Lump Under The Small Toe Indicate?
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to athletes foot. It is a fungal infection. I suggest using an antifungal lotion for local application such as Miconazole cream. I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Diflucan for three days. I recommend maintaining good hygiene. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
