Hello Doctor,
I’ve been wearing a toe ring for a long time, but recently it has started causing pain, and I’ve noticed inflammation and even some bleeding in my toe. What steps should I take to address this issue and prevent it from getting worse?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Wearing a toe ring for an extended period can sometimes cause issues, as the foot structure naturally changes over time, and the toe ring may restrict the flexibility of the toe.
2. I recommend soaking your foot in a warm Epsom salt bath, which can help reduce inflammation and promote healing. If the pain persists or the condition worsens, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
Thanks
