The big toe nail turned black, it turned out that I had this disease

In daily life, we often see some people's big toenails turning black. They think this is normal, but it is not. The blackening of the big toenail may be caused by diseases such as onychomycosis, subungual congestion, nail matrix nevus, etc. It may also be due to abnormalities in the respiratory system.

1. Onychomycosis: Don’t think that all onychomycosis are gray, in fact some are also black. It manifests as thickening of the nails, or hollowing out of the nail with white powdery substance. Treatment can be oral antifungal drugs, but the risk is relatively high. The best way is sealing treatment.

2. Subungual bruises: Subungual bruises are relatively common, mostly caused by squeezing and collision; bruises under the toenails are sometimes also related to wearing high heels, standing or walking too much; this generally does not need to be paid attention to, it will naturally improve after a few months.

3. Nail matrix nevus; this type is also not uncommon; it often appears as a bundle of lines from the nail root to the nail tip; it is generally harmless to the human body; sometimes it develops into nail pigmentoma.

4. The nail matrix nevus should be closely observed. If it is found to be getting bigger or bleeding, it should be considered as nail pigmentation. You should go to the hospital in time to remove the nail, surgically remove the subungual tumor and perform a pathological examination.

5. It indicates problems with the respiratory system. In fact, it is bluish (looks black). This type of person is prone to cardiovascular disease.

6. It should be noted that there are no nerves or blood vessels in the nail plate, so it will not bleed. The so-called subungual bleeding is actually bleeding under the nail.

7. No matter what type of nails turn black, it is beneficial to supplement with vitamins, such as Goldvita.

There are many reasons why the big toe nail turns black, and the symptoms of onychomycosis cannot be ruled out. Onychomycosis not only appears on the hands, but also on the toenails. We urge patients with black toenails to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time and not to ignore their condition.
