Toenails turn black, why do toenails turn black?

What to do if your toenails turn black? Experts from the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Pharmaceutical Research said: It is more likely that the toenail becomes black because of the nail fungus, but there is often no absolute thing, because the nail can directly reflect the condition of the body, and the nail color may be caused by the lesion in the body, and the black toenail may be caused by the following conditions:

One. Nutritional deficiency, if there is a long-term lack of calcium, vitamin A and other elements, nails are easy to turn black, of course, this situation is generally rare.

Two. Bleeding caused by trauma, squeezing, or scratching of the nails and not getting timely treatment**, blood accumulation and other causes can also lead to blackening of the nails.

Three. Fungal infection, if the body is not seriously ill, but the nail plate is significantly thickened, the surface is uneven and black, and its texture is loose, and there are often keratin and debris deposits under the nails. Sometimes, the deck can be separated from the nail bed, which is the most common occurrence of nail fungus.

In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up and acceptance**. The Guangdong Provincial Institute of Materia Medica, the only specialized hospital for nail fungus in Guangzhou, is a good choice.

The toes must have suffered trauma, capillary rupture and bruising, and blackened due to the influence of body temperature for a long time, and slowly grew out with the nails, it doesn't matter! In the future, it will be gone with the nails slowly cut off.

If the toenail is hit or pressed, bruising will occur, and because of the injury, it will hurt a little at first, but after a few days it will not hurt. The blood stasis under the toenail is different from the blood stasis of **, it is not like the blood stasis of ** will slowly dissipate and be absorbed. Instead, you should slowly move forward with the growth of your toenails until they are all cut off, so you don't have to worry about it, just pay attention to it next time.

1.When smashed, it is best to use a cold compress or a compression bandaging method to reduce active bleeding.

2.After two days, a warm compress or trauma cream can be used to allow the congestion to dissipate as soon as possible.

3.Reduce activity, whether sitting or lying down, elevate the affected limb to facilitate hematoma clearance.

4.It will take about 5-7 days to recover.

Blackening of toenails is usually caused by several reasons:

Trauma: If the toe is traumatized by a bump, impact, or pressure, it can cause damage to the inside of the toenail or rupture of blood vessels, causing the toenail to turn black.

Fungal infections: Fungal infections on toenails are one of the most common causes of deformity and discoloration of toenails, causing them to become thicker, brittle, deformed, and discolored, and may turn black.

Purpura: Purpura is a common autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks body tissues, causing bleeding within blood vessels. Patients may present with hemorrhagic ecchymosis, as well as black toenail changes.

Drug reactions: Certain medications may also cause a black change in the toenails, such as antimicrobial drugs.

If you have dark changes in your toenails, it is recommended that you consult your doctor for a check-up to clarify** and on a case-by-case basis** to avoid worsening of symptoms or other complications.
