I broke my pinky toe and it's not turning out to look like the other one. Is ther anything I can do other than taping it?

No, actually the only thing you can do is tape it. It's pretty much all a doctor would do too. Just be careful next time.

Not really. Depends on how long ago it broke. If you are still young (teenager or younger), your toe will have grown back totally by 3 weeks, and you'll have to re-break it. If you only broke it a couple of days ago, you can tape it and hope for the best.
If you are an adult, it can take six weeks, even longer if you have medical conditions.

Re-break it that what doctor do to try to make it the same. You would need a doctor to do it. Any way dont worry about it you can call it your special pinky toe.
