What Is The Cause Of Painful Cut On Toe But No Bleeding?
Yesterday I fell down the stairs and got it check and they said I may have a hairline fracture on my right foot, 5th metatarsal. After I got home I realized I had four dots on my pinky toe, 2 of them are red and looks like it have a small cut on there. Then on the toe beside (as if it were my left hand ring finger, but right foot) has a cut, no blood, very painful. I've tapped that toe an the middle one together and hope it heal. What could it be? And why?

some time Skin of toes get cut but blood does not come out, as skin is very thick there and Few layers are cut and inner layer remain intact so not to be worried. Also you have got right treatment for hairline fracture. This bandage is called strapping. I would recommend you to avoid putting weight on foot, prolong standing .Fracture healing will take 3 weeks.
