This patient came in yesterday. She came in because the second toe nail was digging into the bottom of her foot and causing pain (a small indentation or sore is visible in the ball of her foot).
Most readers may think this is uncommon, but I see this a few times a month. Fortunately, this patient was not diabetic; otherwise, there is a good chance that she would have developed an infection where the nail was piercing her flesh.

I cannot believe people allow their feet to get to this condition, as children, we are taught to clip our nails, why would you not do it as an adult?, I give Dr.s credit, I, for one, would not want to clip foot long toenails!
Some people just don’t take care of themselves. Sadly, if someone isn’t taking care of their feet, they probably are not watching their blood pressure, cholesterol and other serious medical problems
This person only came in because the nail was digging into the flesh on the bottom of the foot and starting to hurt. Otherwise, they would have been fine with the long nails.
