What cream to use on this ore toe ?

[tigger55]

I have been using various ones .. though not religiously I admit .

It has got very sore now .

What would you advise .

Thank you.

Medical attention! That looks nasty and like there is possibly a spreading infection, what started it, is it an ingrowing nail?

In the interim I would soak it it epsom salts as often as possible and apply zambuk when not.
But seriously, you don't have to have a f2f appointment but really need to send those pics to a gp.

This stuff is good although having seen that last picture it might have its work cut out 😬

Hc45 Hydrocortisone Acetate cream

It looks fungal to me, but I would recommend sending a pic to the GP if you haven't had anything like it before. Is it itchy?

Thank you LL so much!

Yes .itchy .
I have got canasten as I thought fungal ..but not done much.

I think I have lt it go on too long now 😔.

I think I bought athlete foot canasten and not vaginal 🤔!

Will send photos off to doc Monday.

@CharlotteStreetW1 ...flippin love the way your cat is posing in the background 😂!

See a chiropodist

@Growsomeballswoman why do you say that ?
I thought they were just nails , corns and callouses and stuff.

They can diagnose a multitude of issues with feet. And treat the fungal infection if needed

Everything sore in our house gets savlon on it

@endofthecorridoor ..our house always starts off with sudocream !!

Definitely contact the GP, if canestan not helping, it could be bacterial (impetigo?) or both at the same time!

Daktarin and make a gp appointment

GP, seriously or at the very least the pharmacist.

I agree it looks fungal, seek medical attention as a significant fungal infection can be the result of something systemic.

That's fungal. Daktarin spray and then Margaret Dabbs Foot Hygiene Cream. Currently doing elderly parent's trotters which have the exact same issue. Fresh socks every day, dry between your toes after bathing (use a separate towel for your feet and wash it regularly) and spray your shoes with Daktarin too.

It looks like an infected ingrown toenail. I always used to think that ingrown toenails were at the top but it's the sides.
