Bruising=bleeding: Black and blue usually indicate that some bleeding took place. This is very common under the toe nail. Rubbing and irritation can cause a blister to form on skin and skin under the nail. This condition usually does not clear out until the body clears it out, the nail plate grows out, or is treated. Blood under the nail gets trapped and dries. Tight or loose riding shoes can cause this.
