Black toenails

[user1468655141]

would anyone know why Both my big toenails have darkened , there's been no injury . Ive tried fungal creams but won't go away. Has anyone else had this please?

Probably trauma

My toenails on both big toes have darkened , no injury and despite using anti fungal creams they wnt improve. Anyone had this? Thanks

Following as sons look like this and no idea why.

Have you spoken to a podiatrist or chiropodist?

Get thee to a podiatrist

I think it can be a sign of autoimmune issues. Any issues with fingernails?

When I’ve had this is due to the toe box in trainers or shoes being too narrow hence trauma to the big nail.

I tried using vapor rub on mine after the anti fungal stuff didn't do anything and surprisingly it worked!

Have you had a new pair of shoes/boots in the last few months?

You say no injury but sometimes if your shoes are a bit ill fitting they can press on your toes when you walk and cause bruising to the nail bed.

Ask your gp to test for fungal infection and you can get the stronger oral medication if it comes back positive.

Mine look like this when I wear my dress shoes on parade (I'm in a marching band).

Well I never. The things other Mumsnetters get up to will never cease to surprise and delight me.🙂
