No medical past history of what you asked. Sorry don't know how to get photos uploaded. There was no injuries. Red spot appired on the top of one toe about three weeks ago then the tip turned red and tender less than a week ago my smaller toe on my right foot became red and tender making it very sore and painful to walk with shoes on. No other toes have been infected
