My 2 big toe nails seem to be turning white ,but just in one area any idea what could be causing this?

Answer 1

Nail discolorations in both fingers and toes can come from a variety of things. Banging your foot on the car, your diet, illnesses, poisons, even lotions and soaps can cause discolorations in your nails. If you're pretty sure you aren't being poisoned, and you haven't been ill, you can just about bet that they come from hitting your foot or squashing it into your shoes! Nothing to worry about (unless you think you might actually be BEING poisoned!)

Answer 2

The most common thing would be toe fungus under the nail. There are a number of over the counter treatments but they take months to work unfortunately.

Answer 3

Check your shoes. If you subconsciously lift your big toes up many times during the day, they rub against the toe of your shoe. The pressure polishes the tops of your big toenails.

Also, make sure your toenails are not too long.

Answer 4

Could be a vitamin deficiency...B12 deficiency is common and streaking on the finger/toe nails is a symptom.. Look on web md for more info.

Answer 5

whites ok as long as it doesn't turn red and start throbbing cause that can be an ingrown toe nail.

Answer 6

if your nails turn white it means their bruised but its no big deal when the new cells grow in they grow white.

Answer 7

That means, luck of vitamin C.

Answer 8

Answer 9
