Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Pain In The Toe
I hurt my toe last Tuesday it was purple in color until Saturday when most of it disappeared. some of the purple is still on the side and a small amount of red color. the swelling is still there. I can move my toe but it feels numb and still hurts when I walk. Should I see a doctor or is it just stubbed?

Hi,
It might be due to minor contusion following the trauma. As of now, you can apply ice packs and take analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for pain relief.
Generally, it will settle by itself. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and go for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
