What do little patches of brown under toe nails, brown under eyes mean? Any ideas?

Do you have both? Wats is on the fanjo wax thread - she'll know!

Yes, little light brown spots under a couple of toe nails, brown rings under my eyes, mainly at night.

Gosh I've never heard of that! Have you changed your diet?

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 25/07/2009 23:51

No, it's still the same.

Reaction to the sun?

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 25/07/2009 23:55

Nope. It's the same every evening, I look like a panda. The spots under my nails are there all the time. Iron deficiency do you think?

Possibly. How weird that it's worse at night.

cornsillk · 25/07/2009 23:59

(I told you she was good)

No, they show up late afternoon, they are brown underneith and look sunken.

I have tried google, it comes up with weird and wacky things.

Thankyou both.

Dark rings under eyes I would assume congestion as wats said, usually caused by allergies. (I have them and it gets worse at night.) Toes, no clue

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 26/07/2009 00:04

Congestion?

Could the toe thing be something fungal like athletes foot?

No, it's on two of them which are not close together (big toe and the 4th one), no flaking, not coming away, nothing abnormal, just a light brown spot underneith. Weird!
