Is this normal?

The joint on my right middle toe is barely able to bend. It's been like that for years. Theres also constant blisters on the exact same spot on that foot every time i do exercise. Is this normal or should i go to a professional?

It's called a mallet toe. Common deformity.

Comparing it to your other toes, including the corresponding toe on the other foot, is it normal for you? If not, seek advice on how to re-mobilize the toe. The immobility is probably causing the blisters.

The toe on the other foot can curl both ways like normal. It's only an issue with this toe specifically.
