Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Foot
My left foot is swollen, black & blue on the outside and my toes are B&B on top just where they start to grow. It does not hurt. I ve put ice on it off and on for 2 days. I don t remember dropping anything on it. My shoes still fit and I can walk ok. Greg

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If there is no recalled history of trauma to explain the changes described, then it would be best for you to see a doctor for assessment.
Discoloration can sometimes be due to infection as well since there is no trauma history, this may need to be excluded.
If infection is present then you may need antibiotics for treatment.
I hope this helps
