My toe hurts and it's swollen and purple. It's not an ingrown toenail (because I've had them before). It hurts. What to do?

Good evening ma'am,

In a situation like this, I highly recommend that you see a podiatrist so that they can examine your toe and prescribe the right treatment for your situation. Indeed, it is almost impossible to make a determination without first seeing the swelling and the purple (which is impossible here) 😊.

Sorry I can't be more helpful to you at this time.

Happy evening,

Alexander
