Swelling around toe nail indicate Inflammation or Infection that need attention. The possibility of toenail disintegration besides suggesting Trauma also call Nutritional deficiency syndrome into question. In summary a visit to PCP is indicated soonest to avoid potential complications like Blood Infection (Sepsis) if trauma and infection have compromised the toe.
