A member asked:
A few months ago my left second toe hurt mildly. noticed that it's bigger/hard/ painful in the area right under the nail? scared of cancer, am 18 y/o.

Toe pain: Cancer underneath the toenail is highly unlikely. Do you see any mass or darker areas? Is your nail growing like it should? You may also have an ingrown toenail if it is on the side and red, painful. See your MD for further help. Again, chances that it is cancer is unlikely.
