It's redder than ever doesnt look good it's swollen and it doesnt seem to be healing
.
What do I do
Michelle,
This is straight forward advice: you go back to your doctor and let he or she see the toe and provide appropriate treatment.
If it is swollen and red there is a good chance it is infected. Ignoring this may lead to a bone infection which is a very difficult condition to resolve.
