Capsulitis: Many things can cause pain under the pinky toe. You may have inflammation of the joint called capsulitus, the possibility of a fracture is also present. I would recommend seeking medical advice for your concern. Go to eastpennfoot.Com for more information.

Overload: Usually pain in that area is from excess pressure. This may happen in a high arch foot or in a severe flat foot for different reasons. A calluses form which further increase pressure and pain. Other possibilities include a stress fx, unstable joint, or nerve irritation.
