Not every foot injury needs professional care, but there are signs you need to seek medical attention or risk complications:
You have a bunion
You have a fever accompanied by tenderness, warmth, and redness in the wounded area
You’re experiencing severe pain
You experience tingling or numbness
You notice swelling in or around the injury
You have an open wound or sore
If your injury leads to trouble walking, you need to make an appointment as soon as possible.
