Accepted Answer

Sometimes it may be: Dirt, lint , bacteria or fungus.....

Question 2

greenish blue stain on toenail. only one nail. no pain, no other symptoms whatsoever, its just an ugly green toenail. im 30 yo female, completely healthy otherwise?

Accepted Answer

: This could be due to an injury or something like old toenail polish or a bacterial or fungal infection of the toenail. Recommend HealthTap consult to try and get it diagnosis and treatment

Question 3

my toenail had a spit in the center of the nail bed. upon removing nail polish it is a green stain on the nail. please  help! thank you!

Accepted Answer

Possible fungal: infection. Please get examined and treated with a prescription antifungal medication.

Question 4

a small blue-green circular spot underneath my toenail, in the middle. i discovered it when i removed my polish. i also have vaginal candida. fungus?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The two aren't related, however.  Which is to say, that the candida in your vagina is albicans (most typically) and the candida (if that's what it is) on your toenail would be a different species of candida. Unless you have diabetes or some other medical condition that puts you at risk for getting candida in multiple areas of the body at the same time, the 2 aren't related. There is cream for toe!

Question 5

i had a infection caused by an ingrown toenail and it was yellow/green. now it seems white-ish. i'll put a picture below. does this mean it's getting better or worse? https://gyazo.com/d904b5f7b3a1ac51f9295ed0909557db ?

Accepted Answer

: pl see your MD or a podiatrist ASAP

Question 6

the bottom of my left foot is blueish green?

Accepted Answer

Sole damage.: Bluish green just happens to be the color of a bruise of at least 5 day duration. There are other possibilities such as environmental contamination such dye from socks or shoes and possibly a skin infection. However, I would expect that it would be on both feet. To remove all doubt consult with a specialist.

Question 7

what could cause  small green dots on the bottom of my foot?

Accepted Answer

Weird: That's weird! fungus, dye from socks, erythrasma, or weird pseudomonas infection. Sounds like a trip to the podiatrist!

Question 8

what works in taking care of a green foot please help it hurts!?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: This may be something you should have evaluated by your primary care physician or podiatrist.  Discoloration can be caused by many things.

Question 9

i was bit by something the next morning my foot was swollen the bite now size of a dime with green center and severely sensitive what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Stinger: Check to see if a stinger has to be removed. If there is associated redness, antibiotics will be needed. Antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) reduce allergic type swelling. I recommend that your physician examine you as soon as possible.

Question 10

my daughter has a blue green spot on the bottom of her foot. she complains about her foot hurting and winces it i touch the spot. it's dime sized?

Accepted Answer

Trauma: Although some birth marks on the bottoms of the feet have been noted to have unusual colors, they are generally never tender.  Pain and new onset of a discolored painful lesion on the foot is suggestive of a retained foreign body and/or infection.
