A member asked:
I have black markings (bruise like) under both big toenails in the same spot. base of the mail/cuticle. i noticed after taking gel polish off after about 3 months. what could this be?

Because the black marking happens symmetrically, the culprit could be your shoes. I doubt of bilateral big toenail melanoma. Stop nail polish, wear a comfortable shoes for the next couple weeks and observe your toes.
