How Can A Lump On The Toe, Post Hurting It, Be Treated?
Almost 2 months ago I dropped my iPad. The corner hit close to the base of my 2nd toe. I thought I'd perhaps broken it but it got just a little red wiith some blue. It was tender. Now after 2 months I have a enlarged lump on the top and on the bottom. That area is red. Curious in Virginia! Brenda

Hi
If there is a thrill (if you can feel it ?) in the lump that you have, then be very careful and protect it from injury . See a doctor at your earliest convenience. It could be a vascular problem and can lead to profuse bleeding if injured.
If it is Red and still hurting bad, it could be a inadequately healed fracture, again see a doctor, especially if no Xray was done at the time of injury.
Hope that helps.
