What Can Cause A Bruise Under The Big Toe?

I have blood collecting under the nail of one of my big toes. There has been no trauma, nor injury. I first noticed it when I trimmed the nails, and then then it began oozing coagulated blood brom underneath. No, I did not cut the flesh, other than trimming back some dead tissue left from dead fungi tissue. Thank you for your time and Information. Ray

Hello,

Bruises are nothing but a collection of blood that develops after minor trauma. Nothing much to worry as it will settle by itself even without treatment.

As a first line of management you can apply ice-packs for symptomatic relief. Also you can take anti inflammatory drugs like seratiopeptidase also.If symptoms persist, you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated, in that case you might require an MRI scan to look for any small fractures.

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