Blister like lump in toe with transparent gooey stuff in it

by (no login)

 

I've a blister like lump on my 4th toe. But instead of water, the lump has some transparent gooey stuff in it. The gooey stuff looks like super glue. After I squeeze them out, it grows back in a few days. It looks like it comes out from somewhere pretty deep underneath the skin, almost close to the bone. It does not hurt though.

I have tried few times to clean it up, squeeze all the gooey stuff out, and put some anti-infection cream on it. But it just grew back in a few days. I have tried to use Caladryl cream and Calamine cream and found out that they are not effective.

My Dermatologist had an operation on me last week. She cut off some fresh from the lump, did some lab test and didn't find any thing. The only thing they know is that the lump is not cancel or wart.

I know normal Podiatrists treat bone or joint stuff. I'm not sure they are good at this kind of disease or not.

This has been going on for about 3 months. I really need a good doctor for this. Can any one help me? I live in the suburb area north of Boston, MA.
