Examine the toe: Look for thick toenail or ingrown nail, look for small crack to the underside of the skin, look for any corns on the inner side or outside portion of the toe. If still nothing, make appt to see foot doctor.

Stress: The toe is stressed and the pain is due to the joint or tendon. Appropriate shoe gear is important!
