Ooze coming out of toe nail?

my toe nail used to be a different color for a while, like a yellow color because i think i smashed it but that was months ago, my nail has been growing out so the yellow nail color on my toe is almost gone, but my toe started to hurt today so i looked at it and put pressure on the top of the nail and on the side of my toe nail this whitish yellowish ooze or puss started to come out, it wasnt alot but it still came out, this never happend to me before, is this bad? what should i doOoze coming out of toe nail?
it depends. if you have soreness over the top of the nail and it is painful mostly on the top you could have an infection under the middle of the nail and the proper way to treat that is to have a doctor look and it and decide if it needs to be drained and if it needs antibiotics or not.





if the pain is more on the side you could have in ingrown nail, or hangnail, or maybe a slight cut or something in the quick on the side and it may get better if you soak it in Epsom's salts, keep it clean and perhaps apply some antibiotic ointment. if it doesn't get better in a couple of days it is worth having it looked at by the doc.Ooze coming out of toe nail?
did you pull a hangnail down to far on the side of your toe? i do this all the time i cant afford to go to the dr so i stick a sewing needle after i soak it to sterilize it and i go in between the toe and the nail and poke it to get all the pus out i get it on my fingers sometimes to but if you cant do it then go to a dr and get it checked he may have to drain it . but that it totally up to you if it is not the reason it is oozing that you didnt rip a toenail or cut one down to far then i would go to the dr and get it fixed
it sounds like maybe where you smashed the toe it had maybe got infected under the nail and now that its growing out the infection could be the ooze??? i really dont know ive never heard or seen that before.
