Purple toe
I do gymnastics and two days ago i did a front hand spring and landed on my pinky toe. it is swollen and bruised now and it hurts to put pressure on it. the inner part of the toe is purple now. i want to know if it will heal by itself or if i need to go to the doctor or if it will even heal.

• Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
