Slight orange discolouration of my left big toe nail. read that it can be the 1st sign of serious health issues?!? what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fungus: Early fungal infection of nail. It is easily treated. at your stage............. Change your shocks every day. After cleaning, iron your shocks. Blow 30 secs of hot air into your shoes every day ( hair dryer ). the fungus grows in a dark and moist place.......like inside of your shoe. Hope you do not have Family hx diabetes. with these measures the nail will grow back healthy.
