I'm having a black toenail since two months. I don't know how I got this. No idea at all. It's my left leg toenail. The toenail isn't totally black. Just a tiny part of it near the skin and deep inside the toe is reddish brown color. I've google this and it said that it may occur due to blood clots but I haven't had any such thing. And some sources tells that it's "skin cancer" please help.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. If your toenail turns black, it's most likely a bruise under the nail, technically called a subungual hematoma. You can get it from stubbing a toe or from footwear that cram your feet into the front of the shoe. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
