Toenail Shape Change, Thick Skin Growth Under Fingernail, Bumpy Surface. Advise?
Dear Doctor
One of my middle toenails has changed it's shape 2 months ago because of a thick skin which has grown under the nail(The nail is not flat anymore. It's shape has become like a baby toenail's, like a cat's paw). I have now noticed that another toenail has started changing its shape because of some skin growing under it. The surface of ALL my toenails have become very bumpy as well. I used to have beautiful nails back in Africa; now not anymore..Please what can I do? ???
