What Causes Bruised Toes After Wearing Flip Flops?

I wear sandles that are like flip flops but they buckle around my heal. I ve noticed in the last month that my big toes hurt but I just noticed tonight that the toe nail on both my big toes are bruised at the base of the nail. Is that a sign that something bigger is happening inside me or is it just my shoes

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are probably having paronykia. This is infection of nail bed. Its treatment is hot fomentation and antibiotics. Analgesic such as ibuprofen are helpful in pain relief.Vitamin B and C help in recovery. If conservative methods fail, then surgical removal of a part of nail heals the condition. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
