I banged my toe about two-three weeks ago and its black underneath the nail and it bleeds when i wear shoes or bang it , what can i clean it with.

Hematoma: After trauma to the toenail, there can be bleeding underneath the nail and that changes the color of the toenail to a darker color. If it continues to bleed after a few days, then it should be evaluated. Hope that helps!
