What Does A Painful Bruise Along With Numbness On The Toe Nail Indicate?

I recently noticed my big toe on my right foot had a painful bruise on the toenail and not sure how I got it. Then it quit hurting a week or two ago and now it has started to be numb and cold on entire big toe. I do notice a small crack that is painful but otherwise it looks ok except for the increasing numbness and cold feeling.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The bruise and numbness in the toe can be due to a fungal infection. An abscess also needs to be ruled out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
