  • you think your big toe is broken
  • your toes are cold and numb or tingling
  • the skin on your toe has turned blue or grey
  • the toe is severely deformed for example, the toe is bent at an angle or the bone is sticking out of the skin
  • severe pain under the nail, which may be the result of a collection of blood
