Help - please!
I'm fixating again on my little toe nail. I haven't bothered with it for ages and decided to check it again today, there is a small brown/yellow area on the outer side of it and every time I look it freaks me out, worrying that it is something sinister. I have asked two separate doctors about it when I went for a recent 'mole' check and about a different issue - one said that it is 'trauma' and the other looked at it with a magnifying glass and said it was fine. Even my podiatrist isn't concerned. I do have other toe nails that are clearly affected by fungal nail and they don't worry me but this little toe nail! Think it all comes from a Facebook post that I saw of a finger nail with a dark line down the middle with a warning message attached - why do people share these things - it's not good for our HA!
Photos attached if anyone can bear to look! Ignore the fungal one next to it as I know that's what it is, it's just the edge of the little toe nail.
