A member asked:
Can walking long walk in heels cause big toenails to turn bluish and painful to pressure?both my big toenails,not other nails, are bluish,one completely,other just partially and the completely blue one hurts and started to detach.should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Micro trauma : Constant micro trauma to the toenails can cause such a scenario. If you do not notice this condition with other foot wear then your suspicions are correct. That part of the shoe is called th “toe box.” There are two possible causes but the end conclusion is still the same. Toe box is not large enough. Sometimes while walking the Hallux will butt up against the top of the shoe unconsciously
