Shift your free hand to the top of your belly and slide it down the side to feel for the baby's back. If that side is smooth and has even resistance to pressure, that's the back. If you can press in further, it's uneven and you feel a lot of movement, that's the front of the baby.
An injury â Bruising or a collection of blood under the toenail can cause the nail to appear dark with black, blue and purple shades of color. Often called âRunnerâs toeâ itâs caused by an injury or trauma to the toe. Cancer â A scary thought but it is a very rare condition. Cancer occurring in the nail bed and the surrounding area will show up as dark, tan and or black spots underneath your toenails or fingernails.
Brown toenails, scientifically called onychomycosis, signal that there is a fungal infection on the nails. Fungus grows and thrives on toes and feet because they are usually covered in socks and shoes, creating a hot and moist environment. Once the fungus grows, it will discolor your toenails with a dull brown color.
