Black toenail tips can be caused by physical trauma, medical conditions such as diabetes or circulation problems, and medication side effects. They may also be a sign of underlying health issues like nerve damage in diabetes patients. A podiatrist should consult for persistent and unsightly blackness on the tip of your toenails. Home remedies such as vitamin treatment and regular checkups with a medical expert can help prevent fungal infections and keep your nails healthy. Prioritizing self-care, avoiding potential risks, and being attentive are key to maintaining good foot health.
