Hard to say. At 12 you are rather young to have it. It usually appears when you are older.

It will be bright red in color and warm to the touch.

Best to go see the doctor with it. They will be able to tell you, and start you on drugs to get rid of the pain, and then hopefully never get another gout attack.

Nobody gets gout at 12 that I know of. It's far more likely you have sprained or subluxated your big toe somehow, with a sports fall or bad shoes.
