What Causes Numbness On The Left Toe?

could my problem with numbness in second toe on left foot be due to a nerve problem I have inside my foot just under that toe? I had it treated with alcohol injections but nerve problem will return if I walk barefooted on hardwood for any length of time..

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

You have problem of numbness at left toe that may be because of diabitic neuropathy. Check your blood sugar level first. Diabetis neuropathy most common cause for numbness at toe.

Any nerve injury may cause this type of symptoms.
Nerve compression may ruled out.

Chronic alcohol abuse cause of numbness problem. Peripheral vascular disease may ruled out.
Consent a physician for further diagnosis. Proper history and investigation helpful for diagnosis.

I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thank you.
