What Causes Discoloration On Toes?
My 4 smaller toes on both feet have a brownish color. The color extends about 1/2 to 1 inch above the toe. A similar brownish color is on my ankles above the heels, about 1 inch by 2 inches long. Only the color is different; same skin texture. It is not more sensitive to cold or pain. I have be taking warfarin anticoagulant for about 6 years and have historically often had athletes foot in skin and toenails. Assuming it s fungal, I have been treating with LamasilAT for about 45 days. No significant change in color, texture, etc. observed.
