A member asked:
Hi, my big toe is constantly numb and has a red blotch underneath. is it necessary to see a doctor?

Confusing question: If it doesn't bother you ignore it. If you want to see why it is happening & if you can fix it get seen. It is not something we could diagnose & treat on line. It may be part of an emerging condition that must be dealt with. Proper assessment requires a history & exam & possibly testing.
