      I just noticed about a week ago that I have a small black spot under one of my toenails.

      I know that no one on here is a doctor but I don’t want to go to the doctors for something foolish . Should I wait and see if it grows out or go to the doctor now ?

          If it's a bruise, it should "grow out".  If it stays in the same spot over the next 2-4 weeks, I would make an appointment to see a doctor.  Have you had any trauma to your toe?
