A member asked:
I clipped off half my toenail, now it's growing back yellow and it's becoming ingrown. what's wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the cause: Some causes of nail discoloration include trauma due to tight shoes, infection, and medication side effects. You should try wearing shoes with a higher wider toe box. Get the feet inspected by a professional to determine the cause of the problem, as treatment varies depending on the diagnosis.
