Suggest Treatment For Painful Purple Bruising On Toe After Injury
Hi! Yesterday I hit my toe on the sofa by accident. It is the toe closest to my pinky toe on my left leg. Yesterday it was a bit purple, so I put some ice on it. However, today it is extremely red and a bit blue. I cannot curl my toes and it hurts to put pressure on it. However, I am able to walk. I am not sure what is wrong with my toe and whether I should go to the hospital or not. Please help.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern because of the escaping blood from the vascular bed such blue, purple, and red appearance is very likely (Ecchymosis) now it will take some time for healing and this is nothing to worry even no need to have any medicine, may take some time to come around till then be patience, take care.
