Did you get a new pair of shoes?

Sometimes if I wear a pair that are a bit too small, my big toes hurt, especially at the end of the day after I was wearing them all day.

Answer 3

I think you should make an appt. with a Podiatrist. It could be any number of things. They can make a proper diagnosis and recommend a treatment for you. You may need to wear orthotics. Best of luck.

Answer 4

i think you have ingrown toenails.they really stink.i have 1 on both of my toes.

Ingrown toenails can develop for various reasons. In many people, the tendency to have this common disorder is inherited. In other cases, an ingrown toenail is the result of trauma, such as stubbing your toe, having an object fall on your toe, or engaging in activities that involve repeated pressure on the toes, such as kicking or running.

The most common cause of ingrown toenails is improper trimming. Cutting your nails too short encourages the skin next to the nail to fold over the nail. Another cause of ingrown toenails is wearing shoes that are tight or short.

Treatment

Sometimes initial treatment for ingrown toenails can be safely performed at home. However, home treatment is strongly discouraged if you suspect you have an infection, or if you have a medical condition that puts your feet at high risk—for example, diabetes, nerve damage in the foot, or poor circulation.

Home care:

If you don’t have an infection or any of the above conditions, you can soak your foot in room-temperature water (add Epsom’s salt if you wish), and gently massage the side of the nail fold to help reduce the inflammation.

Avoid attempting “bathroom surgery.” Repeated cutting of the nail can cause the condition to worsen over time. If your symptoms fail to improve, it’s time to see a foot and ankle surgeon.

Try putting iodine on the side of your toenail between the nail and the skin (where it hurts.)Good luck!
