You : You can grow an area of nerves in the foot, that is called a "neuroma". This can be treated with steroid injection. You have probably already made sure that your shoes are fitting properly and padded your toe for protection. However if this is new pain, you need a medical evaluation to make the diagnosis. If you have increased pain, redness, red streaks, or fever, then you need immediate medical evaluation.

See below: Time to see a podiatrist, it could be a compressed nerve, or growth on nerve, or it could be from your shoe pushing on it.
