No but I have a nail turning brown. The foot doctor was totally puzzled by. I will run that by her. It's not athlete foot or a fungus. Complete mystery. But she had me soak it in a listen and apple cider vinegar bath for 20 minutes 2x weekly and then use Vicks Vapor rub on it daily It has definitely gotten lighter.

I've been on Plaquenil for 15 odd years & no spots. If you're possibly on blood thinners, that could possibly be the cause?? I'm on blood thinners & have been told that, that can happen.
