Hello, I neglected to wash my toenails for 3 weeks straight because a flexibility issue made it difficult for me to reach them and now my cuticle is infected. Suffice it to say I am now cleaning my feet very well since the infection formed 10 days ago. It appears an abscess has grown out of my cuticle and it's struggling to improve. I have MMS, DMSO, Aztec Clay, gauze bandages and Vaseline at the ready.
My feet have been in perfect health for the past 16 years, only in the past 3 weeks when I wasn’t able to find the strength to clean my toenails did this abscess form. Besides this one isolated infection I have no other problems on my feet. To this post I've attached a picture which was taken 30 minutes subsequent to a brief warm water soak. I don't think my abscess liked being soaked in warm water- but admittedly I don't know what's best for me right now. Any suggestions on how I can fix this topical abscess that recently grew out of my nail bed? Thank you.
