Swollen itchy big toe? Help?

Just below my big toes nail it is swollen red and itches at times. It's been like this for a few weeks and it doesn't bothering me a lot but I'm getting a little worried about it. It's very red. Can anyone tell me what this is? It isn't an allergic reaction, and I have started putting some hydrocortisone cream on it which helps a bit, but I'm not sure if it will clear up. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

    Hi, I have the same problem! My 3 last toes on each foot are swollen and itchy and really red. Sometimes they just randomly hurt! What I do is put on some cream for anti-itch. People say cause you're toes don't get enough blood circulation or because of changing weather. Whenever I go to sleep it hurts so much and its basically impossible to rest. I also need help. Put some ice on yours, too. Please I also need more suggestions, its been hurting and itching for 5 days in a row! Please help, I want this itching to come to an end.
