What Causes Blackening Of Toe?
Yes my husband had melanoma removed on his back about 3 years ago and now he has his big toe blackened at the bed of the nail and dis colored skin around it. He had it checked by a dermatologist and she said to watch it! He has had Colin cancer and prostate cancer in the last 6 years too. He is 70 years old. Where do we go from here?

Hi
You should get the nail and the surrounding skin removed and go for biopsy.Alternatively you can go for dermoscopic examination to check whether its malignant or not.
