A member asked:
Can paint thinner cause black toe nails?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can contribute: Pain thinner directly would not cause the discoloration but thinning out of the nail plate due to the chemicals could cause the toenails to become vulnerable to infection by fungus, yeast or bacteria.
