Toenails turning black
(2 discussions)
My big toe has been turning black for some time.
It is not a bruise, but it seems to be rotting or dying for some time (2 years?), almost like it is rotting under the nail itself.
There is no real pain involved. Now it is appearing on two other toes on the same foot.
There is nothing on the toes of my other foot.
Any ideas?

Without an examination I can not be sure. One guess might be either a fungal or mold infection of the toenail. You should see a podiatrist or dermatologist for further evaluation.

My big toenail is starting to turn black around the cuticle area there is no pain and now it is starting on the other big toe. What is causing this and how can you stop it.
