What Causes Numb Toe Of Right Foot With Small Bite?
Question: I spent some time outside barefoot, and I noticed a little while later that my 2nd toe on my right foot is numb. There looks like there is a small bite but there is no pain. Should I worry?
Brief answer...just wait and watch for few hours more

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I think you should watch it for sometime more.
In case you develop some swelling or local pain or restlessness,then you should go to ER immediately.
Till there is nothing extraordinary or something unusual,just wait and watch.
It could be a bite from some insect or you might have got some pebble under your toe,resulting in local numbness.
I hope there should not be cause for any worry and you shall be allright soon.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
