Posted on Wed, 3 Sep 2014
Question: Two days before I felt some burning kind of sensation in my big toe on my right leg. I thought that some insect had bitten me but I had not seen anything. I was in my bed room at that time.. It may be small insect like small spider or lizard which might be on the floor , because it happened when i was standing..Today my toe is red having a small blister with pain. I am in office now ..what should I do?

Brief Answer:
Seems to be inflammatory in nature.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

According to your description , pain and swelling over your big toe seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of big toe and rule out any infective cause.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care
