'Boil' on chams toe.

[Ahtee]

Hey everyone. I was just wondering if it is viable to self recify the problem by bursting it and treating it with saline after? Anyone had experience doing that before?

Any pictures? It could be an infection, be deeper than it appears, and also need to be treated by antibiotics.

Here's a photo. The swelling has gone down a bit but I'm afriad there may be pus in it or smth which I'm thinking is alright for me to self 'handle' it. Anyone ever had same issue and self remidied it?

If there is pus then you probably cannot handle it at home. An infection needs antibiotics.

I am very interested in what this is..... from looking at other posts, it does not seem to be too uncommon. Please keep us posted.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm definitely taking him to a vet in the next couple days and see what's the verdict. Anyways here's a pic of mr chameleon! Pics are always welcome yes?

He looks very healthy, whatever the problem that is going on with his toe, has not spread very far..... Get him to the vet ASAP.... while he's still robust. He will be able to handle the stress that invariably will be involved in solving his boil problem.... and after care handling and treatment that is sure to come.
