Nails turning black

2019-01-31 09:05:39
Last month my friend's toe Nail had a injury but didn't bleed. Since then it slowly started turning dark blue then to maroon. Now it seems to be dark. We doubt if there is a blood clot. Please suggest any remedies and whom to consult regarding the same.

It will resolve by itself in a few days/weeks depending on the impact.
