Dropped heavy item on big toe. its been black for two months. pain is gone now bit skin above nail is blk too. should i get it looked at or will it go?

Black toe: The first question I have about this is the skin really black or is it a scab ? If the skin is truly black then , yes , this merits an evaluation . The nail may be black or look black because it is likely stained with blood. This will be evaluated at the same time as the skin
