HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it may be a corn or callus affecting the toe. These form as a result of trauma or pressure at a site on the foot.
You may want to consider seeing either your doctor or a podiatrist to assess it.
In addition, the use of anti inflammatory pain killers along with soaks with salt or epsom salt may help.
Anti inflammatory pain killers include cataflam, ibuprofen or naproxen
I hope this helps
