Suggest Treatment For Redness And Itching Sensation On The Finger Post Injury
I think I broke my pinky toe last week. It was severely bruised and swollen. The bruising is gone, but the toe is still red and swollen. It has been itching the last couple of days. I m leaving for a 5 day trip, and have lost the chance to see a doctor. Am I in trouble?

Hello,
The itching could just mean that it is healing. However if there is a lot of redness in the skin and increasing pain then there could be an infection and you really need to see a doctor even if it means going to an urgent care.
