Why Is My Big Toe At The End Of The Nail White?
this morning while taking off my nail polish off my toes, I noticed that my right big toe at the end of the nail was white. It looks like someone painted it with white out. Also it has a purple spot in the middle like it is bruised. what could it be?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description it seems, you could be having fungal infection/ onychomycosis of nails. Another possibility could be trauma induced haematoma formation and change in pigmentation.
If its fungal infection, a prolonged course of antifungals would be required. If the cause is trauma,it would heal spontaneously.
Take care
