Can foot surgery cause pus and pain?
Patient: Just recently, I had surgery on my foot back in june. the wound on my foot has healed up nicely. For a couple of weeks now my big toe has been swollen and paining. this past week it has been pussing. I cant seem to figure out the reason why this is happening and cant find a cure. Do you have any suggestions? Doctor: Hello,I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to a toe infection.I suggest to use Hydrogen Peroxide to clean the toe. I also suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.I suggest to cover it with a sterile bandage.If the symptoms does not improve you should see a surgeon.Hope my answer was helpful.If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.Kind regards!
