What Causes Black Toe Nails Of An Infant?
Kindly upload the photos of your baby's toenails..
Detailed Answer:
Hi there my dear,
I am sorry to get to know that your baby was born with black toenails. Can you please send a picture of the toenails of your baby, so I can assist you better?
Generally speaking, baby born with black toenails (abnormal color) might be related to:
- hypoxia during delivery, especially if you had a difficult labor or it lasted longer than usually
- congenital defect
- trauma your baby had during delivery (if any)
- if your baby was born preterm, that will also affect the color of his toenails
- drugs that you might have been used during the first and second trimester
- many other skin problems are also associated with black toenails in newborn babies. The photo would give a hand in giving final conclusions.
Looking forward to have the requested photos in!
