Question : Every summer for the past 3 years now, when I take off my nail polish, I have these brown spots on my toenails. The longer I leave on my polish, the worse they get, sometimes growing white marks, as well. They eventually grow out every time, but are these spots concerning? Is there a way to get rid of them early? What could they be?

Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and noted your concern.

It could be due a fungal infection. I request you to kindly upload a few images of the affected nail in the 'Reports Section' of this web page so that I am able to have a look and guide you accordingly.

Hope to assist you further once I get to review the pictures.
