Thickened Nails: Sometimes There Is One Growing Underneath!!

Hello, this is my last post for a few days as I visit my grandson William in San Diego. I will be back on Wednesday 9/8. At the end of the post, I will show you a picture of William, so very cute. 
     A patient on Monday presents with a thickened and possibly ingrown toenail. There was no pain, but it did not feel right at all. After doing both some electrical thinning of the nail, and then some manual debridement with clippers, this is what we ended up with. I surmise that this is the normal nail beginning to grow under. I will see her in 3 months and we will see how it grows back. 
     Okay, here is William. So sweet. Definitely like his mom and dad (my son).
