Can You Tell What This Is My Right Toe?

default
Posted on Thu, 7 Nov 2024
Question: Can you tell what this is by my right toe (link below) and whether I need to do anything for it? I've had it many months. Periodically I file it down. I actually filed it before the picture. (It was a little bigger.) It doesn't hurt or cause any symptoms.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It looks like xerosis, dryness of skin around the nail.
The nail plate is normal so you don't need to worry.
Just apply an urea based cream twice daily for a month.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
