Mild Numbness In Second Toe. Compressed Nerve?

Hello, I was recently in a hot country and wearing non padded flat shoes and make my feet ache and after walking a long distance in those shoes I began to notice that one side of my second toe on my right side has lost a little bit of sense and has been this way for about a month.

For example if i scratch that one side of the toe i do not feel it as much as if i scratch the opposite side any ideas what this could be? I was thinking a compressed nerve?

Hi,
I think you are correct. This is most likely to be a compressed nerve and I would expect it to fully recover in the next few weeks.
I find this answer helpful
