Swollen little toe
(3 discussions)
I stubbed my toes about a month ago.
They were very sore and turned purple.
All is fine now except for the little toe which is still very swollen and sore.
Will this eventually go away or is there some treatment I need?

My roommate’s little toe for about a week or two as been numb. She can not feel anything from the toe and around the joint of the toe. I asked her if she bumbed it or anything and she said no. So I was wondering if someway she hit her toe in her sleep or could it be some type of spider bit. It is sollen a little bit and on the bottom of her toe towards the middle the skin is hard. I was also thinking that since she is a stylist she stands on her feet everyday so I was wondering if her shoes could be causing her toe to be numb. What do think it could be and is it possible that it may be broken? what could you do if you had a broken toe? Is there someway to know without an x-ray or is that the only way to tell?

DR. Kline~ my daughter is a dancer. She wheres pointe shoes of course and has constant trouble with blisters on her little toes. she tries taping but that hasn’t been helping the pain lately. She has calluses now and I think she developed a blister underneath. Her toe was swollen and red and the skin was sensitive, but pressure on the toe itself or the joint doesn’t cause pain. I don’t think it’s broken or cracked. Could a blister under a callus cause the selling and redness?? It is getting better with rest. should I try to remove the callus?

yes, the swelling will likely go away. If you are concerned, have it x-rayed to make sure nothing was broken. Al Kline DPM
