Hello, today when I woke up I kept scratching a spot on the side of my big toe , I just assumed it was a mosquito bite and it was really itchy. However, during the day it started getting extremely sensitive so that when I touched it, it would hurt so much and walking with my shoes hurt too. Tonight when I checked the spot again, it had swollen and turned a dark purple color with a vein or blood vessel or something sticking out. I have no idea what happened? It may have to do with the shoes I wear everyday but how do I heal it? Thanks!
Hello, The probable cause of the swelling might be an infection with cellulitis. Better consult a doctor and in the meantime I will put you on T. Chymerol Forte before food thrice daily with an NSAID to relieve the pain and an antibiotic Dancing twice daily. Try to avoid wearing shoes till the lesion subsides and also monitor your CBC and ESR.
