Red line on toe below nail

Posted by normaprice2003 @normaprice2003, May 5 9:59am

I have no idea if this is something to be concerned about. I can't wear socks and shoes because my toenails ache and if on too long the toenails go white. Now I have this red line on both my big toes. See picture

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Hey There, Sounds like you may have an infection of the nail bed. I would go to a podiatrist ASAP and get this checked. Are your toenails ingrown by chance?

Praying for you to get better.

Thank you for your reply! No ingrown toenails but they have built up skin or something under the nails that I've been trying to clean out without much success. They also lift at the ends when I wear closed toed shoes for any length of time which makes them painful. Podiatrist says no fungus just dead skin??
Toes next to the big Toes are also very crooked callous between big toes and that toe.

Talk to your family doctor. There is something going on. Your family doctor knows you and I think they will be able to help you.
Good luck
