What Causes Black Discoloration And Skin Peeling At The Bottom Of Big Toe?
On my husbands big toe it was all black on the bottom. Looked at it a couple minutes ago and it was peeling from under each toenail on his foot and also around the whole toe. The nail that had black under it peeled off and the spot is not there any more

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible , since the discoloration is no longer present, that it was due to trauma to the area.
If he is diabetic or has a history of poor circulation to the feet , then he may need to be assessed by his doctor.
If this is not the case, the area can be monitored for any changes.
I hope this helps
