Brown stipes formation under toe nail

2021-08-29 07:16:25
Hi Doctor, I've been observing brown stipe like formation under my index toe nail from some time. I haven't got a diagnosis yet. But I have observed this on both my first and second toe nail for both the feets. I was assuming it is because of the shoe I used to wear for my walks but not sure. Attached are the pictures of both feet. Kindly suggest. Thanks
