What's wrong with my toe?!
Question: About 2 hours ago my pinky toe started feeling warm and then hot. i finally just now took off my sock to look at it and it's all purple and swelled up and the purple goes up the side of my foot. And it's firey hot to the touch. It's not a bug bite cause there are none here this time of year. I was outside for a long time today and my feet went totally nubmb several times. Each time I'd come inside til i could feel them again, then go back out. Could this have had something to do with it? It doesn't hurt or anything it's just hot and tingly.

You really need to see a doctor about this. It sounds like you have a serious infection there. When you talk about your feet going numb, was that from cold? Because if it was, you may have gotten frostbite in that toe, and it is very important that you see the doctor. The fact that the purple is going up the side of your foot is worrying. It means the infection is spreading.
Seriously, go see the doctor. Don't wait.
it may b3 an inf3ction
Your toe is going to explode.
GO TO A PODIATRIST HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOW FOR SURE
if it keep bothering u u need to let the doctor check u out
If it is cold where you live it could be frostbite. (with them going numb like that.) I would definately go to the dr if it didn't improve in a day or so. If it got worse I would go immediately.
maybe you bashed it or soething or maybe its broken.
if your worried go to the doctor they are the best person to help you
also why dou you stupid people answer peoples questions with stupid answers is it really worth it there just asking for help.
You may have broken your toe, or you may even have frostbite. See your doc immediately.
As with any medical question posted here...go see a Doctor. If its winter weather where you are you could be looking at the after effects of frostbite which needs to be treated. If it's broken then you need to be able to rule out other things and take the appropriate action to help it heal.
See a doctor.
to the emergency room with you - and get a ride (by ambulance if necessary)...it could be an fracture or infection - at any rate, the doctor needs to see it now.......
I DON'T KNOW BUT I ADVISE YOU TO SEE A DOCTOR IF IT CONTINUES.

What Are the Symptoms of Frostbite?
If you're out in the cold and notice any pale or glossy (or waxy looking) skin, numbness or blistering, you should get inside quickly. Frostbitten skin may also feel stiff and look bluish. Other symptoms are itching, swelling, burning and pain when the area is warmed.
How Do You Treat Frostbite?
A person with frostbite needs to get inside and warm up right away. Remove anything covering the affected skin and gently bathe the area in lukewarm water. Don't use hot water and don't rub the area at all. Seek medical attention right away.
Are you sure you were not biten by a spider?
