Patient's question:
Earlier, while playing sports, I accidentally stepped on the mud by the roadside and then fell, hitting a stone. My left big toe got injured. During the recovery period, some viscous fluid has been leaking out, and I've been feeling itchy, itchy to the point of feeling it deep in my heart.Doctor's answer:
This is a keloid, which may be related to the depth of the wound and the tendency to keloid formation. It is recommended to visit the operating room, but no special treatment is needed. It should gradually improve and shrink. From the photos, the issue does not seem serious. The itchy sensation could be due to the presence of granulation tissue inside. If this is the case, the itching should subside within about three days. If it does not, it is best to communicate with the doctor. Aloe vera gel or Bactroban can be applied locally now.
