blood

Avatar f tn in all i could help it only 3 times in a week. now my left toenail has blue-blackish colour under nail and right toenail has reddish color under it. how can i remove this coloration??? please help.
Avatar n tn It is under the toenail..I dont ever remember hitting or hurting my toe in anyway.. The is a back spot under the toenail. It has been longer then three weeks.. It is so tender.. I have an appointment with my dermatologist Monday.. Do you know how they do biopsies on toenails?
Avatar n tn I have a big toenail that has gone black. There is blood under it. I have cut it back, but continues to grow back black. I just put nail polish on it and try to forget about it.. I just want to make sure if I don't treat it, it's okay.
Avatar n tn ve done something similar MANY years ago and I KNOW how painful that is. The pressure that the blood blister puts on the toenail is EXTREMELY painful!! If I were you, I would go to the Dr.'s and let them pop the blister so that there won't be ANY chance of an infection. IF you get an infection from it you could have a LOT of problems!!! I hope that you are able to get it taken care of and I HOPE that you will keep us updated as to how you are doing. :).........
Avatar m tn t last but I noticed that the blood dripping off had turned to gel in under a minute, the same for the blood that had pooled in the sink. Is this any cause for alarm, or is it as simple as I haven't been drinking enough water? I will note that before congealing, it seemed to run abnormally thin, almost like dyed water albeit about as transparent as melted red wax.
Avatar f tn I have, in the last two months, noticed a vein running vertically underneath my big toenail. The vein is pushing up through the toenail. I did not realize it was actually a vein until I tried to file it down smooth and it bled. I do know I have somewhat of a nail fungus as well because the nail has been peeling for several years. Not think and yellow though. My podiatrist want to remove the nail and biopsy the area. Not sure what to do about this.
Avatar n tn I had this same concern last year. I stubbed my toe and the toenail was dis colored. It was def my toenail because as my toenail grew, the discoloration of the nail grew as well. Evenly, my toenail grew out along with the discoloration. Does your toenail bleach when you press on it? I don't believe melanoma will blanch.
Avatar m tn I started a discussion about this issue several years ago, and it is now closed, so I wanted to start a new one to update information. I had spontaneous bleeding under the nails of my big toes, it was not from injury. I went to the doctor, who belittled me. the bleeding area eventually grew out. 2 year later I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, Hashimotos Thyroiditius, and was placed on Armors Thyroid.
Avatar f tn I am 41 yeras old and have had Stage 1 (leg) and Stage 0 (back) melanoma in the last two yrs. I have a black spot under toenail that I noticed 8 weeks ago when having a pedicure. It was never there and now it is. I did not injure to my knowledge or anything of that nature.
Avatar m tn i just was walking up the stairs to my appartment with flip flop shoes on. while walking up my left foot got stuck on one of the stairs. and i hurt my toenail so that there was a little cut under the toenail. i wasnt worrying at first. but when i walked up again i saw that there are some red spots on the stair where i injured my foot. it might have been blood. now i'm afraid that this blood came under my toenail into the little cut. how high is the risk on this? i'm very afraid again...
Avatar f tn I can press my left big toe to the floor and I feel nothing, just in that small area there is nothing to feel. Oh, and the toenail, along with the right big toenail, suffer toenail fungus that just won't go away (have had since 1999). I see my general doctor on Tuesday of this week, what questions should I bring to her attention in regards to my left big toe?
Avatar m tn One of the toenails has been slowly growing out and each time I trim it, I am able to remove the dried blood areas. On the other hand, the other toenail is not growing nearly as fast, and the affected region is not moving up at all. Any suggestions on this? There is no swelling or pain, there is just a bunch of dried blood stuck underneath. It has been a little over 8 months and I still have these symptoms.

Avatar m tn In mid-January I noticed a blueish mark under my toenail, I thought it was probably a bruise from hitting my foot against something. I thought it'd just go away eventually, but it hasn't. I'm a bit worried. I googled it last night and everything seems to suggest melanoma. Here's a picture of it: http://i1.minus.com/jbgbqvdMziiPeP.jpg Anyone have any ideas? I plan on seeing a doctor soon.
Avatar n tn The most common cause of dark spots under nails is trauma. If you have dark spots under two nails, that would point toward injury, not melanoma. If your doctor is concerned about melanoma, obviously nail biopsy is required; on the other hand, observation to see whether the dark spot "grows out"--as it would after injury--is another possible approach. I would, however, have to defer to the doctor who examined you in person.

Avatar m tn What is wrong with my toe? I sprained my ankle about a month ago. Since then (I don't know if this is related....), I developed 'black and blueness' under the toenail (looks like dried up blood, maybe?), and the toe next to it has developed a blister (I believe my small toe has swollen). My mom thinks it could be early signs of diabetes, due to poor circulation after my sprain. Any suggestions? I was thinking either fungus, ingrown toenail, or...diabetic symptoms.
Avatar m tn There seems to be a grouping of around 5 black dots surrounded by a lighter brown circle under my big toenail. It’s diameter is about 1/4 of an inch. It is not painful and it is close to the center of my toenail. Any clues to what it might be? Thank you.
Avatar n tn pss lol--does a toenail grow up from the bed vertically or grow out from the bed horizontally? Is the pulp under the exposed nail part of the bed?
Avatar n tn You could possible have a infection under the toenail.
Avatar m tn I have a yellowish area under my big toenail (~50% of the area). When cutting my nails it seemed like there was white/yellow debris in this area. I found that I could "scoop" it out all the way back to where the nail turns pink again. From other information on the internet, it sounds like it might be a fungal toenail infection. Is it common for the nail to detach?
Avatar f tn I cut off that part of the nail when it first started hurting before any sign of infection!
Avatar m tn A brown or black dot or streak under a toenail or fingernail could be a blood clot, fungus infection, or possibly a skin cancer. Hence get it examined under a dermatoscope from a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
