What Gives Relief To The Sore And Sensitive Toe?
I stepped on a needle about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Luckily it just went through the fat next to the nail on my big toe, but just about 30 minutes ago that place on my toe got very sensitive, and when it touches anything, I feel a bad needle-like sensation. It hurts. What should I do?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
You may be having secondary infection at the site of needle prick.
So,i would suggest you to take analgesics for pain.
Give hot fomentation if there is swelling associated with pain.
If it doesn't subside with this,you need to take a course of antibiotics like Tab.novamox.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
