Suggest Remedies For Swelling, Tingling And Itchy Toe Post An Injury

Hi I slipped on an outside step and my foot hit a concretention wall. The fourth toe ( next to little toe) took the impact. It became bruised and black and blue as did my foot. Nearly 3 weeks the toe is still swollen and tingles and becomes hit and itchy. I have not received treatment as I know you are limited. I can t wear shoes apart from a pair of sandals. Any ideas as to why it s burning etc.

Hello,
Swollen Toe with bruising with blue and black discoloration after 3 weeks of traumatic event is kind of serious condition which needs special attention and remedy. Taking consideration of case history given by you, your toe has been inflamed. Blue and black discoloration indicates inflammatory process of muscle, ligaments and accompanying structures.
Since it's traumatic injury we should consider bone fracture also. In this case you need Orthopedic Surgeon Consultation where Ortho surgeon will examine thoroughly and advice some imaging tests. Same time surgeon will prescribe some antiinflammatory and analgesic drugs with supportive remedies.
So try to visit Orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible and get treated.

Thanks & Take Care,
Dr. Suraj D.
