How To Get Rid Of Red, Itchy And Swollen Toe?
I broke my toe a few years ago and ever since it's never been right but lately it has started to swell up and is constantly red and itchy. It also hurts when I where closed toe shoes. It's been like this for about 2 weeks. I never got it looked at so I don't know what to do.

I would suggest you following things,
1. Change your foot wear and wear wide shoes and not tight from front.
2. Get your serum uric acid level as some time GOUT can present like this
3. Meet a orthopaedic surgeon and get X ray of your toe as some time abnormal calcium deposition can also cause these symptoms and it may be arthritis of joint.
