Suggest Treatment For Bruise On Big Toe

I have a bruise on my left big toe, it does not hurt while my foot is in my shoe, but I have slight pain when the sheets touch it but it does not ache. I do not remember injuring it. At first I thought it was an ingrown nail, but all area s around the nail do not hurt or are not discolored.

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be inflammatory condition of the toe and this could be "paronychia" and this could be infection also, initially this can be managed with anti-inflammatory drug only and best option for the drug would be Tab Ibuprofen 40 mg three times in day in case of infection this may need antibiotic, keep the leg in elevated position take a good care of your self, bye.
