Today I bought a pumice stone , i rubbed it on this "corn" today and it began to bleed and then i squeezed it and a lot of white puss came out. Now i am sure this isnt a corn. Is it a wart or an old infection? what should i do about it?

Anytime there is puss involved, it's an infection .. a wart doesn't puss up, unless the wart itsself is infected .. A corn is something like a painful callous , only a pumice stone won't make it go away . A corn remover ( Dr. shaouls ) sp? helps that . So I would say it's an infection . maybe a sticker planted itsself into your toe. Do what you would do with any infection. Clean it, and put some antibiotic ointment on it , and cover it up with a band-aide . Change it everyday,mostly, so that you can see what it's doing. If it doesn't get better. see a Dr.

I don't think corns or warts bleed, but infections do. Perhaps treat is as such and if there isn't a noticeable near immediate improvement--see a doctor?? (I know it's just a toe, but I do know someone that did have some kind of weird problem, and ended up having their toe amputated.) Not trying to scare you, but if it gets worse a doctor is probably your best bet.

It could be a wart, and warts can spread! Cover it and DO NOT touch it and then touch other parts of your body! When you sleep, cover it. Don't wear shoes without socks. Go to a dermatologist (skin doctor) as soon as you can, so that s/he can tell you what it is and remove it if necessary. Good luck!

Go to a doctor.
You did not describe the texture of the skin hence its hard to make out anything. White pus can mean a lot of things too.
Stop rubbing the thing, keep dry and clean.

Go to a doctor, if it had pus in it (dead white blood cells) there was some kind of infection or bacteria.

Sounds like an abcess. Apply a warm compress a few times a day and if it doesn't get better talk to your doctor.
