What Causes Darkening Of Tips Of Toenails?

Hello. I m male, 52 years old, and I just noticed that on my right foot, the ends of my toe nails are darkening. I don t have any issues with diabetes, have bloodwork every six months, and there is no pain in my feet or toes. Is this a common thing? I know it s not normal, but I d like to know if I should see my Dr.
