Suggest Treatment For Inflamed Cuticle And Swollen Toe
I dropped a heavy bottle on my big toe a week ago. At first I thought it was broken as the whole toe was completely black and it was in a lot of pain. The pain subsided it started to look better. My toe is still swollen but it s not painful to walk. It only hurts if something hits it. My cuticle is EXTREMELY inflamed around the bottom and right side of nail bed. Other than that it looks and feels better. I m going on vacation tomorrow and started to feel concerned
Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you are having soft tissue injury to your great toe due to fall of heavy object over it. Its treatment is rest and icing. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is useful as it reduces pain and swelling. Vitamin B and vitamin C is helpful in recovery. However as you are concerned so you can get its x ray done to rule out fracture. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
