A member asked:

How do you get rid of overlapping toe nails? i think it came from playing basketball in tight shoes

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depends on if the nail matrix (root) has been damaged. The nail can be removed and then allow the new nail to grow out. Fungal infection should be ruled out as well. See local podiatrist
