Brown Discoloration Under Toe Nail, Spreading, Painful When Pressure Is Applied. Anything To Worry?
Just lately I have this small brown discoloration under my left big toenail and it looks like it is spreading and when any pressure is applied at the tip of my toe it feels like a needle being pushed under my toenail and hurts something terrible. Sometimes the pain will go to the first joint of my toe. Should I be concerned.
Hi, it appears that you have infection paronichia, means the pus around the nail, some times it may show oozing of blood. So, i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatmnet. You may need to have incision and drainage. Thank you.
