Accepted Answer

Bruising & swelling?: Have an x-ray taken. Usually with a break, there is bleeding from the bone which leads to swelling and bruising to the toe and surrounding area.  This is not always the case, but when i see this, i always take an x-ray to see.  The fact that you can move your toes does not mean it can't be broken. Too much depends on the site and extent of the break to recommend treatmnent options.

Question 9

color back to toes from corn?

Truth or dare.: Not much to go on here. Is it color, back, toes or corn? I guess it could even be black? Try reframing your thoughts.

Question 10

cause of toes turning blacked?

Accepted Answer

Nails or toes?: If you mean the toes themselves, this is a little worrisome.  Usually the skin will turn black if there is tissue death--necrosis--of the skin.  This can happen if blood vessels are damaged or inflamed.  Sometimes, blood under the skin can cause this appearance as well.  If you mean the nails, that can be a sign that a mold has gotten under the nails.  Either way, i recommend a doctor visit.
