smashed the baby toe and the skin on top was laid bare, took a very long to heal up from the inside out. Stayed sore and red, took antibiotics. Pain left but intense redness and some swelling still there (2.5 months later). Needs lancing but I am so scared! What will this entail?
Hi, I understand your concerns, but it seems that the healing occurred while an infection is still present inside. Topical antibiotics will help only a little. You should visit a doctor to re-open the wound, clean it through fully and allow it to heal in a healthy way with application of topical antibiotics. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
