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?
