It started about 3 month ago.

The effected area is, at the base [top] of the second smallest toe, it felt like a bee sting, swollen and painful, went to the doctor about on day 3. He thought it was some sort of a bee sting, then I was concerned about that it could be some sort of a lime disease bug and he put me on antibiotic. The swelling came down but a bump was still there and the skin reddish in color.
About 8 days after, I went to my family doctor and he said it is just a secondary inflammation of a previous athletes foot and he gave me a cream to put on 2 times a day. I did this for abut 4 weeks, but I noticed, as soon as I stop using this product, it wanted to come back.
Went back to the walk in clinic and another doctor gave me a anti inflammation liquid to put on.
In the meantime, I have seen my mother in-law, [chinese doctor] and she thought it is gout.
So then I have researched it a bit on the web and I have watched my food intake and drink allot of
water...... I find, it has gotten better, but there is still a small "bump" there slightly hard when you touch it and the skin still reddish but doesn't hurt anymore. I went back to my family doctor and told him, that I don't think it is a secondary inflammation of athletes foot, I think it is gout and if I could have a blood test done to check for level of acid.
He said, he will, but it would not confirm 100% by the blood test. He still thinks it is not gout, something in the tandance he said, wasn't sure exactly what he meant, so he gave me another anti inflammation cream.

What do you think it could be??
I thought, I like to know, and if it comes back again, I know what to do.
Did any of you had something like this?
I like to hear from you,
thanks for hearing me out!
