under my toenail is turned purple :/ what does this mean ?
It means you had some sort of trauma to your toe/nail. Did you drop something on it? The purple is pooled blood under the nail. Unless it is extremely painful, then you don't need to do anything. It will go away, though you might lose the nail later (a new one will grow underneath). If it is extremely painful from the pressure, a lot of soaking in epsom salts might help.
Did you recently have your toe smashed or any trauma to the area? I think we need a little more background info. If you are truly concerned, definitely make an appointment with your doc!
It's normal, it's bruised. Your toe has a black eye.
If it's really bugging you and youre scared run over to prompt care today to have it looked at.
I'm still thinking its just jammed and you stressed it out.
Soak it in cold water, try to massage and manipulate it a little.
Chances are it will be sore for a few weeks, but will go back to normal eventually.
Ditto Christine... go read the answers you got yesterday for the same question.
If you are that concerned to to the Doc in a Box, however there are some major red flags raised regarding your posts now.... trip trap
You received many great answers yesterday afternoon. Check those out!

Welcome to mamapedia!!!
Your toe has sustained trauma. Like Gramdma T said - your toe has a black eye.
It is likely your toe nail will fall off. Not 100% - but likely. If the TOE is discolored as well? I would go to a podiatrist to see if there is other damage to the toe. If it is broken - there will be nothing they can do for it - other than TRY and reset it and wrap it...no casts for broken toes.
Good luck!
