A member asked:

My toe nail fell off and is now growing back weirdly. the end of the nail seems to have an indent. looks likea possible in grown nail. what should ido?

See podiatrist: Hi. Podiatrists are doctors that specialize in the feet. A podiatrist can tell you if the newly growing back toenail is a problem, and can treat the ingrown toenail if it needs it. Good luck!
