Black dry layer on toes (only thumb toe)
I got dark hard layer of skin on my toe ( I have attached the pics) almost 2 years ago on one of my toe and I got the same problem on another toe ( but less than other toe ) about a year ago
I have tried scrubbing ( not regularly) it decreases but then comes back to normal. I haven't tried anything else other than this .
Is this a serious condition or can I cure this through home remedies or medicines
Pls help
Thanking you in advance

Ma’am, scrubbing may further aggravate the condition. So, kindly, avoid that. You may require certain creams and supplements to make it better, so kindly, consider consulting me through proper channel.
