What could cause bumps on big toe?
Patient: Hi. I have noticed lately that I have these bumps on my big toe. It happened when I started using the pool at the Y, but didn t notice them until I looked while drying my feet. My Dad thought it was just from the water getting under dead skin (I did notice some dead skin coming off my toes after swimming), but they never itched or hurt so I paid them no mind. I looked again a couple of days ago and they re still there and I m going a bump or two on my adjacent toes. Some of the bumps on the big toe have black dots in them. Is this just a bad case of warts or a fungus? Or something else? Doctor: Hello,  Most probably it will be a wart. Once the diagnosis is confirmed you can go for cauterisation or cryosurgery. Consult a dermatologist and he will direct you accordingly.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
