What Causes Sudden Pain In Big Toe?

Hello - I am a 42 year old female,155 lbs, 5 3 . All of a sudden the big toe on my left foot started hurting. I looked down and the cuticle was red, lumpy and shiny. I have been wearing sandals all day and about 30 minutes before my toe started hurting I was at an outdoor nursery buying flowers. Any ideas?
