Question 5

vertical crack on small pinky toe nail. 1 third of it is loose. is it safe to pull off and will it regrow?

Accepted Answer

I hate that.: By pulling it off, you risk the chance of doing permanent damage to the nail root. This could cause a bigger issue than you already have. Try trimming the nail to a sensible length and applying a tape to hold the free edge down. As the nail grows it MAY resolve. To remove all doubt and have a more precise solution, based on an actual exam, have a foot specialist look at it.

Question 6

can there be a way to get rid of extra skin on your pinky toe?

Accepted Answer

Callus care: I am not sure, but it sounds like you may be talking about a callus that has formed on the outside of the pinky toe.  This is a problem that many have.  If you are healthy, i would recommend you use a good exfoliating foot cream and use a pumice stone on it about every other day...Back off on treating if it gets sore.  Otherwise, see a podiatrist.

Several options: Depending on what the pimple or bump looks like, you could have an insect bite of some sort, a cyst, stepped on something. There are a variety of things it could be. If it is painful or creating problems get checked out by a podiatrist. If it is getting bigger or changing colors definitly get checked out.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Toe pain: Toe pain can come from varied sources; if you banged your foot, you may see a dark, blue area between the toes. The area can get swollen and is painful. Another possibility is that there can be dried blood between your toes creating your dark color. If there is a fissure or crack between the toes, there can also be a fungal infection present.  Nonetheless, you need to see a podiatrist.
