Suggest Remedy For Bruises On The Tone Nail
Hi there, I am a 25 year old female, otherwise healthy. I have just recently noticed a brown mark on my left big toenail, it has a pin point dark brown spot with a surrounding slightly larger and lighter brown smudge. I don t recall any major trauma to the nail, but a cow stepped on my foot a couple of days ago, but the toe nail is not tender, and a bruise has not looked like this before. Thank you
