Discolored toe
Hello there, Discolored toenail could be attributed to a variety of factors which includes but not limited to: Diabetes, onychomycosis (toenail fungus), circulatory problems, lichen planus, psoriasis, and trauma, Even small microtrauma that the toenail could be exposed to in certain shoe gear (mostly tight, ill fitting/ non-supportive shoes) could create this type of discolouration. Without a thorough H & P (History & Physical exam), it would be tough to say exactly what could be going on, based on one photo. Would be best to obtain a referral to see a Podiatric physician, so that you can get an extensive workup, exam & treatment plan for the discoloured toenail. Dr. O. Imonugo - Mmagu READ MORE
