It is probably just old blood (in other words, a bruise) from where you banged your toe at some point. It will go away as your toenail grows out. It is not dangerous. Another condition that affects toenails is "fungus" but that usually turns your toenail a whitish or yellowish color.
It is probably NOT blood. I had a black area in my toenail that I ignored. Turned out to be a form of mold in the Pencillium species. Most probably Penicillium chrysogenum.
My problem is after that my nail started to lift up and have stuff UNDER the nail. This may be more of a characteristic of fungus, however penicillin is a close relative but it is easier to treat.
Doctor gave me itraconazole (Sporanox) Three months is all it's going to take.

Do I have an ingrown toenail my nail doesnt hurt but the skin around it is pinkish and swollen and hurts when I press on a certain spot?
Yes you have an ingrown toenail. Buy some "Vicks Vapor Rub" Use it everyday until you see a change. The red part is due to infection.
Why do ingrown toenails hurt?
Ingrown toenails hurt because what is happening is that your toenail is penetrating the skin. when anything penetrates your skin it will hurt. The toenail will press on nerves in the toe. another reason that it hurts is that it is infected. The way to treat an infected ingrown toenail is to remove the toenail from the opening in the skin with nail trimmers then soak the toe in warm salt water. Hope this helps!!
Does ingrown toenail surgery hurt?
First, the pediatrist has to use a shot to make your toe numb for when he cuts the ingrown toenail. So the shot doesn't hurt, he will spray some cold spray on it. the cold spray stings a little, but it helps not to feel the shot as much. Yes, that means you will feel the shot but it won't nesessarily hurt. After that, he will do his job in fixing your ingrown toenail.

When a toenail falls off is it painful?
well, if you pick it off by hand, it will hurt. if it somehow falls of by itself(which is VERY unlikely) i don't know it it hurts. but it will probably hurt.

Can a bruise under toenail be cancer?
It might. It depends on how you got it. I have a bruise under my toenail from my friend who stepped on my foot with her high heels on. If this comes out of the blue, and it won't stop hurting, then you might have it. It's very rare. If you got this from something that hurt your toenail like I did, then It probably is not skin cancer.
