Granuloma near toe nail
Hello Doctor,
From the past 7 days i could see there is a small lump or granuloma near my big toe nail. I once tried to tear apart a part of skin just like that post which it got inflamed and took this shape.
However, am applying betadine to clean that lump and taking Camyda 300 for last 4 days straight. The pain has reduced a bit but the size of lump doesn't seem to improve.
Pls advise what works best to get away with this? Is it something serious?
