      Hey guys, i had a black spot on my toenail but i scrubbed it off somehow, was a small circular thing.. could it be something serious or the fact it could be removed suggest its nothing. Bit scared in all honesty, so would appreciate any answers. I scrubbed under the nail quite hard and its disappeared, would I be right to assume if it was a serious spot I couldn’t of done that?

          If it can be scrubbed off, it's nothing to worry about

                Thanks, though in fairness some of the spot was cut off with part of the nail then removed by being cleaned off. Would this still count as nothing to worry about?

                    It would have to be on your skin, if it was just a part of your nail, and you cut it off, then it's nothing serious
