A member asked:
I injured my toes recently and both my big toes turned balck/blue under the nail.can the consistent bruising become a real problem?

I think you'll : Be fine. The blood colored nail should grow out as the nail grows. At times, it can cause the nail to fall off. Sometimes, the trauma can make the nail susceptible to fungus. If you have any concerns see a podiatrist.

I'm not certain it's fungus. One toe nail developed a thicker ridge. I filled down the nail hoping to remove the problem area, but no luck.The nail has a white line surrounded by a darker, bruise like color.
