A member asked:
My foot nails are slowly turning black and the top tip of the nails is detaching from the toe flesh. what might be the cause and is there any treatment that i can take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nails black: Most common reason would be fungus in nail. Fungus loves dark and damp shoes with socks on. Try wearing sandals to see if it. You may also want to Google black nails in Africa and see what kind of images you see to see if you match up with any of them then call your doctor.
