Suggest Treatment For Black Discolouration, Irritation And Redness In Toe

My toe next to my big toe is red and irritated. It felt this way 6 months ago and then my toe nail went completely black and has not gotten normal. While I was walking today this pain started again. It maybe that it is raw from my 6 mile walk. I thought the black nail was from me excercising in sneakers with too long a toe nail and it bruised my toe bed. BUT That Does NOT Seem so.

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical musculoskeletal examination is advised.

I will advice you to check your Blood glucose levels. Also, such discoloration of the skin occurs due to venous insufficiency and can be corrected by thorough examination.
