A member asked:
Toe nail broke all the way across and grew a new one over the old one that was lifted from the skin. happened on both big toes and nails had ridges?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trauma: The toenail probably broke because you traumatized it. This can occur from a direct blow or from microtrauma from playing some sport. The ridges on the nail are an indication that you may be chronically traumatizing your toenail. The new nail will grow out but may be slightly deformed. You should probably let the podiatrist take a look.
