Small swelling on top of the toe
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.

Hello there
I can understand your concern
There are two possibilities
1) As u mentioned u play sports, utoe may get injured while playing - get an xray done
2) it is looking like gout - check ur uric acid level.
