What causes discomfort under the small toes?
Patient: On my right foot only, under the two small toes, I have a sensation that my socks wrinkle in this area. It is not painful. Since I like to walk a lot, it is just annoying. I don t have this sensation wearing sandals as I don t use socks while walking on them. Could you please tell me what causes this feeling? Should I consult a doctor? What type of specialty doctor can advise me on it? Doctor: Hello,  It could be an early sign of arthritis like gout.  Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.  As of now, analgesics like Tramadol or Aceclofenac can be taken for pain relief.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
