A member asked:
Black tiny spot on my small toenail. i cut the nail portion off and dark spot came off with the nail. but left a pinkish wound on the skin. wat is it?

Open vs closed sore: Somehow the skin was injured. It bled and that is why the nail had a dark spot. It was just blood. If the pink spot is still draining, you have a small ulcer that needs topical antibiotic and band aid. If there is no drainage, it is new skin and healing.
