Hello,

The discoloration of the toes can be related to many medical conditions. One of the common medical condition can be related to a fungal infection. I suggest a physical examination at your doctor to confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is confirmed, I suggest using Clotrimazole cream for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
