What Causes Toe Area Swelling With Marks And Discoloration?
Hi. Today was a really rainy day so I wore boots. I ve worn them all day and I iust got home, but felt a pebble in my left foot like an hour ago. I took off my sock and my left foot the top of it was really white, kind of swollen like and had deep hurting lines (which I m guessing is from the pebble). What s going on with my foot?

Hello, Thanks for your query. According to your description , pain AND SWELING over your FOOT seems to be inflammatory in nature. I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
