A member asked:
Padded part below pinky toe throbbing burning sensitive to pressure feels like more than athletes foot been swollen for months what is it?

Why R U Waiting.....: Any area that has been swollen, throbbing and sensitive for months should be evaluated by a doctor soon. Athletes foot is generally confined to the surface of the skin. The description you give sounds more like an infection is brewing in the deeper tissues. These types of conditions can get out of control very quickly so having it evaluated soon should remove all doubt as to just what is going on.
