Question 1

i have a pea size blood filled bubble on my toe between the nail and skin on the outside of my left big toe its not under the nail what could it be ?

Accepted Answer

"Blood blister": It sounds like a benign problem likely from some trauma to that part of the foot. Your description sounds like a fluid filled vesicle (blister) with the fluid being blood. Rubbing against a new or ill-fitting shoe, or duirect injury are common causes. Usually just leaving it alone is the best treatment as the body will take care of such things. Popping it increases risk of infection.

Question 2

i have a blood filled skin bubble on my lef big toe between the nail and skin what could this be and how do i treat it. (its not a blister) ?

Accepted Answer

Toe nail clot: What you are describing sounds most like a "subungual [underneath the nail] hematoma [clot]". This is a common injury, usually due to a bump or contusion of the toe which breaks a blood vessel under the nail. It is not a serious injury but it can be quite painful depending on the amount of blood. For severe pain, to release the blood a doctor touches a hot wire to the nail to release the blood.

Question 5

if a weight fell on my foot, now i have a blood clot in my big toe under the nail. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Nail procedure: If the toenail is painful when you apply pressure then you need to have the pressure relieved to release the blood underneath the nail plate. It's possible to also have a toe fracture following such a traumatic event. See a podiatrist for a x-ray and possible nail procedure.

Question 6

i dropped a board on my big toe on the joint. it has been a week. the blood under the nail has gone from a real blue to purple black. infected?

Accepted Answer

Maybe...: It's possible, but may just need to be drained or have the nail removed completely to let a new nail grow back in 6-8 months. If it is still throbbing after 3 days then may be infected. See a doctor right away. Recommend an x-ray to make sure nothing broken.

Question 7

my big toes on both foot are red/blue/yellowish i went to clicks to but anti fungal spray as the skin around the toenails was red and inflamed? now i see this morning that my left toe is bleeding under the nail. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: Its hard to understand the changes in your toe based on the description. I suggest that a doctor should see it. I wonder if you have a circulation issue? Can this be COVID 19 toes?

Question 8

i have a raised mole on my big toe nail? i think it is a mole,  or  is a blood clot.  but i just noticed it the other day.  is it skin cancer?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked: I'm not sure what you mean by raised. Is it under the toe nail or next to the toe nail.? It could be due to trauma or maybe a mole or even possibly a melanoma. Please have it checked by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon as it may require a biopsy.

Question 9

wood piece fell on my foot. vein ruptured under skin and is showing a blood bubble as big as a marble. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: Usually when the skin is not pierced we leave the wound alone so it’s not to create  an infection. However if this is giving you trouble difficulty wearing shoes then utilizing a sterile needle might be utilized to drain the bubble. After which I would using topical antibiotic ointment and cover it with a Band-Aid or dressing. I would apply the antibiotic and dressings until healed
