How To Cure Swelling And Discoloration Of The Big Toe ?
Hi, I got bitten by something about 3 nights ago while sleeping. I have a red (which i assume is a bite mark) on my 3rd toe but my big tow is also sore and is swolen. Since I was bitten I have been woken up every morning in the early hours from an intense burning pain in my big toe. my toes are not discoloured and looks normal aside from the swolen big toe. The burning pain in my big toe only seem to happen during the night and lasts about 15 minutes and then subsides.

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
I would advice you use a gel or cream that contains mepyramine maleate and lidokaine or dexpantenol. There is a gel with this ingredients that helps in such conditions, Stiderm Gel, and I don`t know if this available in your country, that`s why I suggested a cream that contains this ingredients.
Have a nice day! Please contact me if anything is unclear!
