A member asked:

Could idiopathic peripheral neuropathy cause hypersensitivity in the big toe causing pain from a shoe touching it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It’s possible but : The most common cause of great toe pain and redness is gout. It may be a good idea to have your toe checked. I recommend seeing your doctor.
