My husband has been suffering with swollen, painful toes. It is his 3rd and 4th toe on his right foot. He had a plantar wart on the bottom of same foot. The wart is gone now but his toes are still red, swollen, and very painful. He complains that it feels like he is having a charley horse between these two toes. His podiatrist told him to ice it and put 1% hydrocortisone (over the counter). He had been doing this for several days and still no relief.
