My big toe nail started to turn purple about 2 weeks ago but it’s just on the right side of my toe nail, no pain and it seems to be on the skin directly around the nail bed and looks as though it’s slightly over the cuticle, do you think it’s serious? I don’t remember hurting the toe itself

Hi
It seems like a simple trauma, you can use an anti-inflammatory to help it heal faster
Nothing serious
Good Luck
Hi..
Thanks for the query..
It looks like you have banged the toe..
There is blood accumulation under the nail..
It commonly resolves on its own..
Wait and watch if it spreads or fades..
Regards.
Hi..
It is a subdermal haematoma, try ice application .
