Numbness In Toe, Yellow Color Near Base Of Nail, Foul Smell, Spreading To Other Foot. Treatment?
A few months ago began to feel a little numbness on the side of the big toe... Tvhen when walking barefoot didnt hurt but felt slightly swollen. Then black yellow starting near the base of nail. Yellow and black covering 3/4 of nail with foul smell. No discoloration on any other part of the toe. Because of the swolleness of the toe felt when walking, Before any visible signs, Makes me believe that it started within the toe. I have not had any trauma to t.he foot. Starting to see some discoloration on the other foot

From history it seems that you require evaluation of your problem.
Go for testing blood sugar to rule out diabetes.
Consult surgeon and rule out diabetec foot.
If require consult dermatologist to rule out other possibility of having some disease.
Ok and take care.
