An infection in the toe can be very painful. It can leave you unable to walk properly and give you constant pain even if you aren't moving. A toe infection can be caused by a number of things, including an ingrown toenail, using nail clippers that have bacteria on them, or going to a nail salon that is using un-clean tools.

You can also end up with an infection in your toe by getting injured and it not healing properly. You may not give your feet much thought until you suddenly develop heel pain or get an ingrown toenail. Pain gets your attention fast, but you might still have a tendency to put up with it and wait for the pain to go away.
