Dr. Chidi Jude Ukatu M.D.'s Expert Contributions
My sister has swelling and excessive pain on her toe, which also has pus and blood secreting. Does she need a surgery?
She needs to go to the emergency room urgently for evaluation. She could have a deep tissue infection of her toe which could potentially spread into her bone (if it has not already done so). This will put her at risk of losing the toe or even seeding her blood and causing sepsis. The emergency room physician will order radiological tests that will help evaluate and diagnose her condition and this will determine her treatment, surgical or otherwise. Good luck.
