A chair fell on my right foot 2 days ago and now my big toenail is very itchy around the cuticles and it looks cracked. why is it so itchy?

Well...: Itching can be a sign of healing. Be sure to ice it, elevate it, and apply buddy tape (tape it to your next toe). If it doesn't improve in a week, see your doctor to get an Xray. Hope this helps!
