I think you've gotten really good advise. I probably wouldn't go to a Dr. myself but I would definitely try to brace or straighten the toe somehow if you think it might heal crooked. I once taped two broken fingers together using a box cutter as a brace and they healed perfectly. However prior to that experience I broke a toe (the second to the big toe). I didn't realize it was actually broken at the time and now I have a permanently crooked toe. I've actually considered seeing a podiatrist to see if they could re-break and straighten it but I'm not sure if it would be worth the aggravation. I definitely hate my crooked toe. Yuck.
