Hey everyone,
In advance I have attached a photo.
I need a little bit of help. I am not sure what exactly is going on with my big toe but it started 16th February 2018. I went to the doctors because the cuticle on my right big toe has opened up and some kind of growth is growing and I haven't banged or knocked my toe. My doctor gave me antibiotics (amoxicillin) I started taking them straight away, after about a week nothing had improved, it just started getting bigger, went to see another doctor and they gave me Clarithromycin 500mg, one every 12 hours for seven days, which then started giving me morning hypos, so I went back again and saw my diabetic doctor who has put me on Clindamycin 150mg, two four times daily, I've been taking them the last couple days and still nothing has improved. It just seems to be getting bigger and I am worried.
Has anyone else has something like this before? Or can give me any advice!
The photo is of what this 'growth' looks like now. Sorry, it is horrible!
