Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Pain On Toe, Raised Skin Underneath The Base Of Toenail, Sore. Reason?
I have been experiencing really really bad pain on my second toe when wearing shoes lately! I have checked it and it does not seem to be ingrown, however, the skin underneath the base of the toenail is a bit raised and sore to the touch! My shoes are rubbing against a tiny indent at the side of that toe and it is causing me AGONY! Do you have any suggestions as to what this might be ?!
Hello I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. This might be a local infection and aggravated by wearing shoes. I suggest you to avoid wearing shoes for some days and let it be in air for long time. make the area clean and apply soframicin ointment on it. Thank you.
