Especially-bad stubbed toes often result in a fracture (a break in the toe's bone). In this case, it's usually necessary to receive an X-ray, cast, or foot brace. Signs of a fracture include: An audible crack or pop at the time of injury. A toe that visually appears bent, kinked, or crooked.
Apply an anti-bacterial cream to the stubbed toe if the skin is broken or the nail is split. Stubbed toes may require medical attention if there is evidence of discoloration under the nail. The pain and inflammation of a stubbed toe can be treated with an over-the-counter medicine, such as ibuprofen.
