Question 2

why is my pinky toe sore and red?

Accepted Answer

Did you injure it?: Check the nail - is there any particular swelling or pus-like material coming from anywhere near the nail? Are your toes rubbing against overly tight shoes? I am not sure why it is this way. Would be concerned about possible infection.  Warm? Tender? Swollen? Pus? Red streaking?  One option is to see you podiatrist  for evaluation & treatment.

Corn on toe: Basic problem that must be removed is pressure on the toes from poorly fitting shoes (e.g. Pointy toed high heels). Wear footwear with adequate toebox & compound w should do the trick of softening & removing corn. Caution: diabetics, people with poor foot circulation should not use such treatments as they can cause ulcers & lead to infections. If above suggestions don't work, see podiatrist.

Question 9

i had my knuckle bone removed yesterday out of my pinky toe. i have 4 stitches can i walk on it today even tho it's really sore?  i have it wrapped

Accepted Answer

Toe Surgery: You should wear the surgical shoe, supportive shoe, etc, that your doctor gave you. Keep the activity to a minimum for the first 2-3 days to keep your toe pain free. Try to elevate above your heart if you feel swelling, call & confirm your post-op directions with your doctor.

Question 10

my pinky toes have become tender to the touch and appears  swollen out of no where especially my right pinky toe?

Accepted Answer

Check your shoe size: Make sure that your shoes are not causing this swelling from not being wide enough for your foot? At the end of the day this can be more pronounced than when you get up, and are walking around barefoot. If it has been a chronic problem, you need to see your PCP or your podiatrist to have this evaluated further. Since it's bilateral (both feet), it will be easier to treat together &amp; may be simple.
