How To Get Rid Of Weird Shape Toenails?
I've been suffering from these weird shape toenails since I've been born. They don't grow flat like my big toenails, but they kinda look like claws. Now, when I cut them, they regrow back in all sorts of directions. I have two weird one s on my feet. One growing side ways and one growing as though it was pulled back. I hate this. I was never able to wear open toe shoes as I would like (my feet is soak and wet with sweat, which is another problem). Is it possible to try to get my toenails to grow normal or would I have to continue to shamefully hide my feet for the rest of my life.

hi
to the best of my knowledge and experience unfortunately we can't do much for claw like nails.the only solution could be permanent and total removal of nails.
take care and wish you good health
