Why Is My Toe Red With Itchiness?
My index toe started to itch on the top about center of the toe. The next morning it kinda burned in the shower. When I got out I looked at at and noticed that is was slightly red and the top also looked very slightly swollen. It actually really hurts to bend the toe forward or even backwards, but only the slightly red skin on the top of the toe hurts. Any answers to what this may be?

this sounds like a small abscess has formed you will need antibiotics for it
also do warm soaks so that area softens and pops so pus can come out
