A small black dot on the side of big toe nail near the bed. about the size of the letter "o". no pain. now another appearing. what could it be?

Best to Check.: Whenever small black dots start appearing, it is best to have them looked at by an experienced physician. Often times, they are nothing more than blood trapped under the skin, but to remove all doubt, check it out.
