Hi all got a problem with my left big toe, I accidentally stuck a pair of scissors into the side of my toe & it became infected been on antibiotics or a week but my toe is not healing. What should I do?
 
I second @Antje77 's advice.

In the meantime. Are you keeping the injured/infested area clean?

How is your blood sugar level managment doing??

Do not whatever you do ignore it. If you feel it isn't progressing as you would expect, go back and have it checked out. Foot issues can escalate very quickly indeed from something irritating to something very serious indeed.

I don't post that to disturb you, but to remind you of the fact.
