How can pain in the little toe be treated?
Patient: I have pain in little toe, if walked on much it turns black, and if I soak it there is a hole inbetween it and the next toe. I was treated by antibotic for 20 days when I went to MD with pain in toe. Still have problem only now it has began to hurt and turn black. What do I do? Doctor: Hi,  Possibly you have chronic infection in the toe and on walking there is increased circulation causing discoloration. I suggest you get X-rays, complete blood counts, and ESR to assess the problem. If you can better to consult orthopedic surgeon.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr Gopal Goel
