Half dead toe nail
Hi Doctor,
Attached photo of my left toe. Last year half of my same toe nail was dead so i cut it with a nail cutter and then in grew back. Since then the left side of the nail doesnt grow properly. And now there is discolouration on both sides and it feels like its going to get detached. The red/brown colour is my mehendi stain.
Pls advise if the nail has to be removed or should i wait for the nail to grow out. Also dirt and water is going below then nail and settling
