What Does A Small Black Dot On My Big Toenail?
On my big toenail, the left one, there is a small black dot. It movessel as the toenail itself grows, and is only on one toe. It came to the top today and I could literally pick out the black stuff. It was barely any that I picked out and it reaked. I can t find anything online that match close enough and it doesn t hurt. I m female and in my teens. Is it a fungus or sone thing else? When it first apeard it was in the middle of my nail with no indention or intrusion.

It may be Subungual Hematoma as a result of nail trauma. The bleeding spot move forward as the nail grows and then disappears on reaching the edge
