What Causes Black Spot On The Toe Nail?

I have had a black spot on top of my toe nail for couple months after stubbing it, swelling hasn t gone down since. Was really bruised, swollen and painful for few weeks and couldn t bend it. Now I can bend it and not painful anymore I was just wondering what this tiny black spot was? Can t find anything online about it!

HI
Well come to HCM
Such black spot could be due to collection of blood beneath cutaneous and this might have happened because of injury in the beginning this may be painful but as the time passes pain subsides and black spot still may remain there and this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care.
