What Do Bruises Under The Toe Nails Indicate?

I have what look to be bruises under a couple of the toenails on each foot. I don t think they re from any trauma to my feet (although I do have a large dog who sometimes stands on my feet to get my attention). The surface of my toenails does not appear compromised. What could this be?

Hello,

It can be due to infection caused by your dog. Maintain dog’s hygiene and cut nails of your dog. Put moisturizer to your leg to keep it hydrated.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
