Yesterday i was playing basketball with a tight shoe for 2 hrs. after the game i noticed bleeding on my socks and my toenails hurt. anything i can do?

Throw out the shoes: The shoes are too small for you and causing trauma. Neosporin or another ointment will help heal the nails, but the biggest factor is prevention by getting shoes that fit. Shoes should allow wiggle room for toes and a thumb's width of length from the LONGEST toe.
