    Thank god
    Really nice to see a sensible opinion.
    I have black toe. Now to be fair, I am overweight, unfit, and I have circulation issues.
    I also camp and hike regularly, stub my toes routinely and recently came back from a camp where my boot didnt really work with my new super thick thermal socks.
    Now I have black toe and every time I try and seek help on the internet they are telling me its diabetes, melanoma under the nail, or cancer.
    About fifteen years ago I stopped looking for medical help on the internet because every time I did I would get told that it was probably cancer......possibly AIDS.
    Thank you for being sensible
    I will try a toe protector..... but more likely I will wear thinner socks or more spacious socks.
    Thank you for being professional.

    • @FootGeekzTV
      @FootGeekzTV  4 роки тому +5

      Good point. However, the toe nail doesn't actually turn black. If the nail bed is injured the nail will most often fall off with time. You can have a podiatrist or chiropodist remove the nail for you. Minor injuries will heal on their own. You'll have to let nature take its course.

    Can you get it from putting plain nail polish on & leaving it on til it went away on its own ?

    • @FootGeekzTV
      @FootGeekzTV  4 роки тому +3

      Nail polish does not cause black toe nails. Is that what you're asking? Or are you asking if clear nail polish is able to heal the toe nail? Nail polish can cover up the bruising under the nail for you if you're not happy about the aesthetics.

    You have offered ZERO solutions. Waste of time.

    • @FootGeekzTV
      @FootGeekzTV  4 роки тому +5

      Thank you. These are all solutions to prevent future black toe nails. Once you've injured your toe you'll just have to let it heal or let the nail fall off and regrow (if the nail has separated from the nail bed). It's not the nail that's black, it's the bruise under the nail that makes it appear black. As with any bruise icing is recommended to reduce swelling. You may also want to elevate your foot to improve blood flow to the toes and feet. If the bruising is very bad you may have your doctor relieve pressure on the nail by draining the blood underneath. Pain killers may also help reduce the pain.

    • @FootGeekzTV

      You'll have to let the damaged blood vessels heal. Eventually the damaged portion of the nail will fall off.

    good evening, today my toenail turned black during a football match, it could have been that the opponent with studs pulled my shoelaces and made my shoes become tight.
    my toe throbs a bit.

      Your toe nail may fall off if you continue to injure the nail bed with ongoing pressure, but if it doesn't hurt, or you can work through the pain you can go train.

    • @FootGeekzTV

      Is your left foot larger than your right foot? Even though the toes may not feel squished there may still be pressure on them, causing the nailbed to bruise.

    Two of my toes are kinda black, but only half of them, not entire nails. They're also placed in the side.
    I dunno how to fix them, and I don't wanna remove it, because I hate pain.
    So now, I just don't know if I should let it be and wait, because it's been a few weeks now, and it doesn't hurt anymore.

      You have to let the bruise under the nail heal and ensure not to wear footwear that's pressing on the nail, hence cramping the toes.
