Name for curved large toenails plz!
Question: Name for curved large toenails plz
Hi, could someone out there tell me what the official name for a curved toenail plz.? A couple of years ago the large toenails went the same way as now and I needed to have them removed.. The same thing has happened again.. It is definitely not fungus as I had the test results back Friday just gone.. I remember, a couple of years ago, my doctor gave me the official name for the complaint but I can't remember what it was.. The toenails are curved to the side from the nail bed and impossible to cut by myself..
Any help would be much appreciated.. Thanx..Health Question & Answer

I have the same problem with the nails on my big toes.. I went to the doc thinking I had ingrown toenails but was told they were deformed.. I wasn't given a medical term for it.. I had them removed, but they eventually grew back.. The one toe nail is still curved but not giving me any problems yet, but the other one is curving quite a lot.. I don't like the thought of having the nail bed removed, which I was told is the only other alternative.. You are brave for having it done..
