What Causes Dark Reddish Purple Discoloration On The Toenail?

I had dark reddish purple spot on my toenail. After a few days the entire nail fell came off. It s growing back, but it still looks unhealthy. Now my little toenail came off without any visible problems. Each toenail has a white spot on them now. What is going on?
