What Causes Redness And Itching In Toe?

I kicked a short stone wall a few years ago and may have fractured the big toe knuckle. It swelled up and wheb i went to urgent care they just laughed at me, x rayed me then just quickly said i was fine and rushed me out. It swelled down and the pain stopped but it never looked right. Now 3 years later the spot has begun to turn red and itch. Recently i kicked another wall but with my sole and now the bottom part feels odd and is red with a bit pain. I know im an idiot for kicking walls but im kinda scared about my toe now

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got injury toe many years back. This got swelled a little. Now you got a fresh injury by kicking. I think you got sprain. You need to take rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can get its x ray done to exclude 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. You can also write to me directly on below link:
