Suggest Remedy For Faint Brown Spot,pulsating,numbness And Swelling In Big Toenail
I have a faint brown spot on/beneath my big toenail, an occasional but frequent pulsing feeling in it and it s almost as if my entire foot feels numb or swollen (but it s not) sometimes. I have recently quit smoking in the past month or so and have heard that Gout seems to run in my family. Is this something I should be concerned about?
As per your case history of brown spot under nail, it may be either a simple subungual purpura due to some trauma or maybe a melanoma. My treatment advice is: 1. Avoid wearing ill-fitting footwear 2. Take a NSAID like Ibuprofen and vitamin c for 10 days. If it's purpura lesion it will subside. If lesion persists then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
