(The orange paint is leftover nail polish)
What could this be on my big toe?
I have had a dark spot for a while but just yesterday noticed it going vertical up the nail.

I would get it checked because the actual nail bed also looks damaged/sore. A black line going up the nail isn't really the important bit, more if its creating changes to the nail bed itself from what I understand.

Yes. I would get that checked out asap,

Does it hurt? It looks bashed.

@lljkk
No, not painful.

Let us know what the outcome is? Hopefully something like simple fungal cream will sort it.
