What Causes Black Discoloration On The Toe Nail?
My granddaughter had a wart on her large toe. It was treated and went away. Then, her toenail turned black in some areas. That went away, also. Now, both large toes are bright red as if she had sunburn on her toes. They do not hurt nor do they itch. Any idea what it could be. Her shoes are not tight, so that s not it. Thank you for your time. Carol

Hello,
* As per my surgical experience, the issue of black discolouration of toenail suggests ischemic changes following the previous infection.
* Though there is no pain or itch, it is recommended to consult an expert surgeon for the diagnosis of the same and treat accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
