Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
The burning and itching of the toe is likely to be due to a minor nerve injury or compression in the area due to local swelling. This will gradually decrease on its own in next 2-3 weeks as the swelling will subside. This is not worrisome. Taking Methylcobalamin supplements can help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
