Brown toenails, scientifically called onychomycosis, signal that there is a fungal infection on the nails. Fungus grows and thrives on toes and feet because they are usually covered in socks and shoes, creating a hot and moist environment. Once the fungus grows, it will discolor your toenails with a dull brown color.
Minor fingernail and toenail problems are common. At one time or another, almost everyone has caught a nail on something, causing it to rip, or has smashed a finger in a door, leaving blood under the nail. These kinds of injuries can be quite painful but are usually not serious. It is common for a nail to turn black after an injury. 2  The black or purple-black color is caused by blood under the nail and will go away as the injury heals. 3  Black, brown, or purple discoloration under a nail that has not been injured may be caused by melanoma.
