Swollen, red, hot toe (with pic)

Been on antibiotics (was infected as was red, hot to touch, swollen and leaking pus - minging). Due to finish antibiotics today and it seemed to be all ok until today when it's swollen again, turned red and is warm to the touch (no pus this time)

Another call to the GP? Looked on NHS and I'm not sure if it's gout or even worse cellulitis. I don't think it's the latter as I don't have a fever and it doesn't look exactly like the pics on the NHS website.

I know I have minging feet, I blame running for the state of them. I haven't been running since I went on antibiotics and have been resting it as much as possible.

Yes, back to Gp. Probably needs swabbing and a different antibiotic.

I hit my big toe on my right foot and its swollen where the toe and bail join and red and sore. I think it's infected. I keep cleaning it and putting antiseptic cream in it, anything else I could do??

Ask a pharmacist to have a look and advise @77Dee
