What Causes Occasional Pain In The Smallest Toe Of The Left Foot?
Since just a few months ago this had been occuring. When I walk, my pinky tow on the left foot hurts. There seems to be a massive scab on it, but it also looks like dried skin. When I bend my toes, that one moves to the side. It s very painful to walk on.

Hello,
Very likely you are having corn or a callus on the small toe. This toe is very vulnerable to pressure from the shoes and may develop thickening of the skin and even corns and calluses.
A visit with the doctor will confirm the diagnosis and he will give you local treatment or may choose to remove the thickened skin or corn/callus.
Wearing proper shoes that are not too tight is important as well.
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
