Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query. What I understand from your query is that there has been a whitish discoloration of skin on your toe and it has swollen with a bump. I would be glad if you elaborate on it and also provide an image of the affected area. Also mention how long this has been there and whether there seems to have been a trigger.

I would await your response. Let me know if I could help further.

Brief Answer:
Further details needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Sorry for not being able to respond faster. I have checked the attached image. The image is a bit out of focus and I would request you to take another image by placing your great toe slightly farther from the camera. The skin coming off or becoming whitish should not be a cause for concern. I need to know if the skin of that area is peeling off. I would also need to ask about the degree of pain associated. Also mention how long it has been there.

I would await your response.

Regards
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
