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

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!)My 2 big toe nails seem to be turning white ,but just in one area any idea what could be causing this?
That means, luck of vitamin C.My 2 big toe nails seem to be turning white ,but just in one area any idea what could be causing this?
calcium deficiency
if your nails turn white it means their bruised but its no big deal when the new cells grow in they grow white.
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.
it might b a fungus growing under ur toenail...i have heard if u soak ur toenails in listerene it will kill fungus
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.
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.
whites ok as long as it doesn't turn red and start throbbing cause that can be an ingrown toe nail.
go see a podiatrist...but could also be that you are wearing shoes that are too tight or narrow
You might be low in iron..but i'm not sure...go ask the doctor
