Swollen toe: Seems like you need to see your doctor to have your toe evaluated. Your toe could be purple because it was wrapped to tightly. Or hemorrhage in your toe. Anyway it is hard to say and someone needs to look at it.

Skin Infections: There is a world wide deadly epidemic with a drug resistant staph causing abscesses and sores that are universally described by patients a 'bug bites'. Since this surely sounds like one of those i would advise that you get seen within the next 24 hours by your family physician.
