Infection on toe
Hi so I’ve been having issues with my toe for months now. I went to a doctor for it and he said i had a bacterial tissue infection in the crease of my big toe by my toenail. He told me to take antibiotics that he gave me and make sure to clean it and don’t mess with it and it should get better. Well it’s been a few months since that and it has not gotten better and maybe even worse it’s swollen and sometimes bleeds.
