Black toenails

shipjack wrote:Yeah..I have the same problem. Its not a mystery in my case though because I have one of those 'orrible fungal nail infection things. It means that one big toenail is slightly thicker than the other one and there just must be a tiny bit more pressure on the nail because of it being thicker. It does n't really hurt when I'm skiing to be honest..just slightly sore in the evening. Then sure enough a couple of weeks after I come back I loose the nail and by the time it grows back its time to go skiing again! You'd think I'd be able to solve it but I've tried various chemists potions and they do n't work.
Anyway..I'd suggest your fella has damaged his nail bed (possibly from one instance of a badly fitting ski boot?..or he's got a nail infection) and it just keeps getting re-triggered.
Sorry to be no help..probably needs some sort of doctor type to look at it.

Shipjack have you had a diabetes test as this also causes your toe nail or nails to be affected as in fungal infection & you don't have to be obese to get type 2.

Do you mean Ally in one camp & the rest of us in the other :lol:
Well I'm just doing the skiing & leave the boot camp activities to those who wish to out perform us recreational skiers, a sort of group within a group -)

The Movember tash is now a srcuffy looking mass of grey whiskers which are being cultivated into
a beard, gotta go through a bit of looking like a tramp, but all should be well next week :thumbup:


I think you should cut it now as it seems to have covered your keyboard -)
