Question 1

how long does a take for a cut toe to stop hurting?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Healing depends on several things, including depth of cut, what caused the cut, general medical condition, etc.

Question 2

i have a corn on my pinky toe that hurts allot when i have shoes on any type of shoes i noticed. and i have to take my feet out the shoe to stop pain?

Accepted Answer

See a podiatrist: A corn is thickened skin that gets compressed into a hard core.  A podiatrist can debride the corn and pad the area.  Padding the area to prevent rubbing is a conservative treatment.  If the problem persists there are surgical options that include procedures to make the toe smaller thus stopping the rubbing from your shoe.

Question 3

my husband has a cut under his right toe. it is not bleeding but the cut is 1 inch long but it is open and hurts. what we should do? need advise.

Accepted Answer

It really depends...: The length of the cut is not as crucial as the depth. If the cut is more than a few hours old, not more than 1/8" deep,  not getting red, and he can still move the toe normally with his mind, then clean with soap/water. Put antibiotic cream/band-aid daily for 7 dyas then air. If not all of above, or any redness, pain, swelling see dr. Immediately. Tough to answer without examining...

Question 4

i have redness between two of my toes. it doesn't look like a cut and i don't where i got it from. but it hurts and it looks bad. how would i treat it?

Accepted Answer

Toe irritation: Try otc anti fungal cream such as lotrimin (clotrimazole). Often can get a yeast ( tinea) infection in between skin of toes.  If not improving get evaluated. If you are diabetic, see your doc asap as diabetes increases your risk of foot infections.

Question 5

why toes hurt when getting toenails cut?

Accepted Answer

Usually: cutting/trimming too close to the nailbed, flesh of the toe or hangnails.

Question 6

i hit my pinky toe last week its no longer purple but still hurts when i move it is it broken ?

Accepted Answer

: Could be but it would hurt a bit. And only an X-ray can tell. I you can walk on it not likely broken.

Question 7

my skin is naturally dry in the winter. my big toes are badly dry. this year i got 2 deep cuts that hurt. i had them for weeks, i just ignored it hoping it would heal. the cuts are still open and black inside, alittle itchy. sign of infection?

Accepted Answer

: Fissures on dry skin are common, especially on fingers and toes.  If your fissures are not red, painful, and oozing pus, they are probably not infected.  Apply an antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin or Bacitracin and cover the fissures with a bandaid.  Change bandaid daily and reapply ointment. If that doesn't work, you will need to consult your doctor or a dermatologist.

Question 8

i had a hammer toe/had toe put in place and now it hurts even more.it makes me want to cry every day. how do i stop the pain?

Accepted Answer

Probable revision: Typically hammertoes are fixed by releasing the  bottom toe  flexor tendon contracture with a combination of a fusion or arthroplasty. If the fusion never occured that bone on bone pain could last until it's refixed or definitively.

Question 9

how do i stop the balls of my feet to stop hurting ? not sure if the pain is from my arch or at the bottom of my toes they both hurt.

Accepted Answer

Biomechanics: It could be from a structural problem; either your feet are too flat, or conversely, the arch is too high. You need a biomechanical exam with a local podiatrist.

Question 10

what will cause fingers and toes to turned yellowish white, numb and hurt really bad when they get cold? it takes time to get feeling and color back?
