Should I Be Concerned For Swollen Purple Toe?

I hit my little toe two nights ago on the door facing. It swelled bad and turned purple. Very painful. It is still swollen and painful with a little purple color still in it. Should i have it checked out by a doctor? or is it too late? It is feeling numb at the base and still painful at the tip.

Hello,

I suggest to go to the doctor and make an X-ray! Maybe your toe is infected and needs antibiotics another reason you should seek medical care is because of pain you have after 2 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
