Why your nails are turning black?

Answer 1

That's because certain conditions such as Heart disease, liver or kidney problems, and nutritional deficiencies can show up in our nails. Since you've noticed this change in your nail color, I encourage you to talk with your doctor, who can give you the best advice for your specific situation. Based on the information I have from your question, I'll try to provide some possibilities that can cause dark coloring of the fingernails.

Answer 2

Darkened toenails typically mean that a collection of blood (or a 'hematoma') has gathered underneath the nail. A hematoma increases the pressure in a given area, which causes intense pain. You see darkened toenails more-so in athletes and those that walk barefoot, but anyone is susceptible to darkened toenails. Below are the causes of a darkened toenail:

• Fungal infection (common in immunodeficient patients)
• Trauma (dropping a book on the affected toe, for example)
• Tight footwear
• Malignant melanoma (this is a very rare condition)

If the darkened portion covers more than 25 percent of the nail, then you should seek medical attention. You can ask a local doctor to recommend a podiatrist (a doctor that specializes in feet, ankles, and the lower extremities).

Do not worry too much. If you feel you want to consult a medical professional, then you should. If you don't feel any pain, then you don't need to consult a doctor or another medical professional immediately (unless the color consumes more than 25 percent of your nail).

I hope this helps!
