Can Pain In Big Toe Reduce By Soaking It In Hot Water?

My big toe on the left foot hurts. Shall I soak it in hot water? It can damper action because it s too painful to walk anywhere. I m not sure whether it s my shoes (I got a size larger for comfort) and wonder if it could be the fact that socks have a seam on the bottom which could irritate toes.

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be paronychia (Nail condition corner of nail get inflamed and get infection) this could be due to infection and this is can be well managed with Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day, most of the times this comes around but may need antibiotic, hope this information helps, take care.
