What Could Scratch Marks In Big Toe Suggest?
Hi! So about 3 months ago I noticed this small almost scratch like mark on my big toe. It is horizontal and brown. I feel as if it has gotten smaller from when I originally noticed it but am not sure. I think it may be a bruise but I am not sure. I will try to upload a photo.

Hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As you have noticed a small scratch like mark on the big toes, having a thorough clinical examination will help understand the texture of the skin and any abnormality. Based on which certain clinical diagnostic tests will be planned and later on the treatment will be initiated.
In my clinical practice, such cases post examination and diagnostic tests, they respond well in shorter time.
