Pointe messing up my foot..has this ever happened to you?

I dance at a preprofessional dance school and pointe class is messing up my one toe. I am no longer worried about how my feet look because i have been en point for 5/6 yrs now so they are very ugly. However, I am worried about my toe because the skin is dry and cracks open on the bottom. Most of the time my toe is fairly purple. Has this happened to anyone?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: no. maybe you should try to put more padding in the shoe and really don't push yourself too much. i hope your toe feels better =)
