Stained: There is nothing to do. It will fall off or stay stained. Next time see a podiatrist or primary care doctor.

Many possibilities.: Some causes of nail discoloration include trauma due to tight shoes, infection, and medication side effects. You should try wearing shoes with a higher wider toe box. Get the feet inspected by a professional to determine the cause of the problem, as treatment varies depending on the diagnosis.
