Gout is a kind of arthritis. It would be hereditary or caused when the kidneys are not functioning properly. The condition leads to a lack of some enzymes to break down uric acids in seafood, heavy sauces, and meats. Over time, these urate crystals thicken and go to colder body parts, often your big toe joints. The joints will swell, feel hot, look red, and can be very sensitive to touch. However, it is not easy to determine the underlying cause as those can also be symptoms of an infection. Thus, make sure to visit a doctor as soon as possible for a precise diagnosis. [10]
