What Causes Burning Sensations In The Little Toes?
Question: I was bite on the little toe yesterday. It's a burning sensation. So bad that I didn't sleep well last night. Just the sheet rubbing against it set it on fire. As I explained to my husband just now it's like the pain you feel when your burnt by something, that initial feeling but all the time. It's swollen and red, the pad right beneath my toes is also swollen. I've been told by friends it could be a sun spider. We do live in Arizona. I've been bit by a scorpion before so I know this was not a scorpion. I did not feel the bite and the pain was gradual.

Hi and thanks so much for this query.
It is difficult to assess this toe without looking at it at minimum. This will allow me to see whether there are signs of an active infection which require an antibiotic or just pain and swelling management would be sufficient.
