Is your toe red, swollen and infected!?
You should probably go to a doc to have it looked at!.
If it is infected, you will need antibiotics to fight the infection from the inside!.
If you see red streaks going up your toe - like reddened lines - get to a doc right away!. It is the infection going into your blood!. Not good!.
For now, soak it in Betadyne solution and warm water!. As warm as you can stand!. It will help draw the infection out, if there is any!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

pus means infection!. go to the dr and get the appropriate antibiotic!. meanwhile you can soak your foot in salted warm water (1 tablespoon to 2 cups)!. the toenail is separating and will come off either by falling off or being trimmed!. not a serious problem - yet!. but it can become one if you do nothingWww@Answer-Health@Com

no no nothing like that!.!. need not be cut off :) it might be possible that ur toe nail is broken (since its white in the corner) one side!.!. i had a similar wound and the worst was there was a new toenail that started growing beneath the pus!.!. and i went to doc!.!. he gave me local anesthesia and removed the toenail and cleaned the wound!. did not take any medicine but had to do dressing almost daily till the toenail grew back!.

my advice is to go to a doc!!
take care!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try putting your feet in hot water and leaving them their for a few minutes to clean them or dirt around the corner!. And puss coming out idk about that!.!.=LWww@Answer-Health@Com
