Swollen Big Toe Cuticle, Pus Filled, Discolored, No Pain, Extensively On The Feet Through The Day. Suggestions?

Hi, I have a swollen big toe cuticle that is dark red and appears to be filled with puss, i came down on my foot hard the other day biking, the toe feels fine no pain at all , only the cuticle is discolored, not tbe nail. Hurts slightly when pressed on, I work 12+ hours a day on my feet and ice makes my whole foot hurt.
