You probably have gout. You can get medication to ease it or you can treat it at home but it will require a dietary change. If it isn't gout then it could be something regarding your circulation.. but as it is both toes, I would say that likelihood is gout. It is caused from a buildup of a certain type of acid in the blood. This can come from eating a lot of lunchmeat or processed meats and other dietary factors.Both of my big toes are painful and there is a black spot at the nail bed of each toe. What is causing this?
Could you be wearing shoes that rub on your big toes or shoes that are a bit too tight? Tight shoes could cause bruising and tenderness.
