MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Hi,
If there was a previous trauma to the nail, a black or brownish discoloration is frequently observed. The color results from a blood clot or bleeding under the nail, and may involve the entire nail or just a small portion of it. This can be very painful when the entire nail is involved, and may need medical attention to relieve the pressure caused by bleeding under the toenail. Have this evaluated further for proper management. Direct clinical examination is important. Take care and keep us posted.
