Okay, i bumped my toe on a dresser, and my toe nail is kind of purplish and then my shoe made it even worse. should i wear sandals now ?

Wear shoes or sandal: You probably bleed a small amount under your nail. This will grow out over months not days. Pain should subside in a few days. Until then don't wear shoes that put pressure on that toe.
