Ladies:
Thanks for all of your advice. I tried all of them and combinations of them, to no avail. The toe is just not going to heal! I went to my dr. yesterday and she did a partial removal. Ugh....5 shots to the big toe later, I came hobbling home. Hopefully, it will heal and this will be the end of it. Not sure if the Tykerb had anything to do with it, but had to get it taken care of. Been on antiobiotics since Aug.
Take care,
Joannie
