Small swelling on top of the toe

2019-06-19 14:01:45
I play sports very often and I recently noticed a swelling on top of my toe. It is mildly uncomfortable when I press on it and feels a bit hard to the touch. I would like to know if this is something that will heal on its own or should I get it checked by a doctor. Thanks.
