What Causes A Hematoma Under The Right Toe?

MY husband just came back from the Y and discovered what we think to be a hemotoma under the right toe, on the pad and his foot looks bruised on the top side. He does take a blood thinner for a heart problem. He says there is no pain or discomfort. Should we be concerned?

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to an injury. X-ray is necessary to determine the diagnose. A painless and small subungual hematoma usually doesn’t need treatment. So there is no reason to be concerned.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
