Not sure its nail bed infection or hurt
Hi doctors, i have severe pain in the third toe around the nail area. Very slight redness around the nail. I m not very sure if its a nail bed infection or if i got minor hurt as i dont remember exactly as my kid keeps driving his mini scooter on my foot once in a while. I am worried a bit as i am a diabetic (Hba1c is 6.7). Please suggest if i can use T-Bact or Soframycin ointment till i visit the doctor in a day. I can attach the photo here for reference but the mild swelling/redness is hardly visible on photos which i clicked.
