Bone Growth Under the Nail: What You Need to Know
A bone growth under the nail might sound alarming, but it’s often a benign condition. Medically referred to as subungual exostosis, this growth occurs under the nail and can cause discomfort or even pain.
What Causes Bone Growth Under the Nail?
Bone growth under the nail is often caused by repeated trauma to the toe, such as wearing tight shoes, or it could be related to a genetic predisposition. It manifests as a small, hard bump under the nail, which can lead to nail deformation and tenderness when pressed.
Treatment Options
Treatment for subungual exostosis often involves surgery to remove the growth, especially if it’s causing pain or affecting your daily activities. In some cases, medications or changes in footwear can alleviate discomfort.
When to See a Doctor
If the growth becomes painful, inflamed, or significantly affects your toenail’s appearance, it’s important to seek medical advice. Early intervention can prevent further complications.
