A member asked:
Should i see a podiatrist for numb and swollen 4th toe with bunion?

Yes: 4th toes don't get bunions. 4th toes are commonly numb as the result of a neuroma. Possibly you meant hammered. Toes usually become flexed at the joint which becomes prominent. This is called a hammertoe.

Podiatry : Yes it's time to see a podiatrist with all those issues. Numbness to toe could be from a neuroma or hammertoe.

Fourth toe: Toes don't get bunions , but they do become hammered (hammertoes). Numbness can be a neuroma . Time to see your podiatrist who can help with these problems.
