    after all we are reading about gout, it seems that crystals that are formed in his toe are causing infection. I can see under his nail there is some pus coming out. it is like a open wound that can not heal for a year. I was hoping allopurinol will help dissolve these crystals, and antibiotics for infection( anything with open wound with discharge), red, swollen, hot- inflammation. he has both on his toe. at first he thought he had an ingrown nail, he would cut ,which made things worse. that was the article written by american podiatrist that i read about steroids for people with stubborn infection on their toe and with historyof ulcers. i am in usa, he is in croatia treated with village doctor and given all kind of different diagnosis. (one time they pulled his nail), they told him he is diabetic).i am trying to get informed as much as i can, but not really experiment on him.thanks for any information. nina
