bursting of skin near tophi deposit Posted: 02-14-08 18:23pm
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had any
experience with the bursting of skin near
a prominent tophi deposit that resulted in
leaking of the tophi.
This happened to me for the first time
this past summer and has occurred twice
since then. The first time was the most
severe and a considerable amount of the
tophi was removed (which I guess is a good
thing).
The location was the same each time (right
big toe) although I have significant
deposits in multiple areas.

Yes. It dries to a chalky, hard, white
substance. Do you know what instigated
your first experience with this problem?
On two occasions that this has happened to
me a significant amount of tophi was
flushed out. I'm not sure if that is a
positive or a negative.
