Infection on big toe
Hi all,
I think I cut my nails too short and since then I have been experiencing some pain. I applied some ointment (Betnovate) at the infected place but the pain is still there. Since yesterday, I was soaking the infected place with lukewarm water and after that some puss started to come out( in a very small proportion) and the place looked a bit blackish and looked like it was bleeding a bit. I consulted a doctor and he prescribed the attached medicines. Just wanted to know if I should be concerned about this or the prescription should be fine.
